Nulls in Torque

[Geoff Fortytwo <g4...@snowball.com>]

I found a short thread titled "Nulls in Torque" from way back in early June 
2001 which discusses the problem of setting and getting null values with 
columns represented using java ints. I wasn't able to find any mention of a 
solution though. My main questions are:

Is there a way to tell torque to generate the classes with Integer fields 
instead of int fields for all "INTEGER" fields which can be null?

If not then is there any way to set a column to null or determine if it's 
null (like isNull() and setNull() in java.sql.ResultSet). This wouldn't be 
my preferred solution, but it would work.

If there simply isn't any way to set and get nulls than is this one of the 
issues that's going to be fixed in the next version of torque?

It probably get fixed in some future version of torque.  It will be
fixed as soon as someone needs it fixed, like yourself, and they
implement a solution that is acceptable to the rest of the developers.
