64bit integers really needed/intended?

Hello,

I observe that wsdl2ws generates 64bit integers for xsd:integer but 32bit
integers for xsd:int.
Is  this really as intended?
This is with current SVN on WIN2KSP4, JDK1.5.0_06, MSVC6SP6.

Greetings

Franz

Hi,

The size of these types was chosen to most closely match the XML Schema
definition for those types. (see
http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xmlschema-2-20010502/#built-in-datatypes )

In quick summary:
xsd:int is defined as supporting signed 32bit integers.
xsd:integer isn't actually specified, but the derived type xsd:long applies
the restriction of signed 64bit integer.  That was also chosen for
xsd:integer as the largest integer type on most platforms.

Regards,
Adrian
