I've looked through the archives and noticed a lot of people asking about
how you pass primitive data types in RPC calls, yet I haven't seen any
comprehensive answers. So let me ask the question in a different way.
I want to pass a primitive in an RPC call. I understand that I can wrap it
in it's java.lang equivalent, however, how does the service know to
deserialize that back into a primitive as opposed to the wrapper class for
my method?
Here is an example. I have the following method exposed for use by SOAP
addChannel(ChannelMetadata metadata, boolean forceAdd)
and I create an RPC Parameter as follows
new Parameter("forceAdd", Boolean.class, new Boolean(false), null);
Now does the SOAP server use reflection to determine I need a boolean and
hence pass a boolean primitive to the above method, or is it going to
blindly pass a Boolean? If it does pass a Boolean, how can I get it to
pass a boolean?
