Simple query about using primitive datatypes

[Amit Garg <am...@cs.utexas.edu>]

Hi all.

Simple question: Is it recommended to always use Object types (like
Integer) as opposed to primitive types (like int) when building web
services?

Thanks,
;Amit

No, But it should not matter.  Since web services could be called from 
languages
other than Java, so, on the contrary,  I would try to stay away from 
Java's wrappers
on the primitive types.  This perhaps could make it easier for other  
tools generating
client  code from the wsdl description of your service.

  I prefer to use int, personally, but I don't believe it really 
matters.  I like to use primitive types in my beans as much as possible, 
and if I need to use an object method then I just instantiate it at that 
time.
