Hi Jennifer,

I agree that, the SCA Spring Specs v1.0 does not provide a clear picture on whether the properties
can deal with primitive types. I believe the SCA Spring Specs 1.1 will address this issue.

In reality, the SCA properties does not support the direct use of  primitive types like int, short, boolean etc.
The SCA properties are designed to deal with JAXB data types, which always points to a class
implementation.

For example: SCA property for integer should point to java.lang.Integer class.

> Since the Spring <sca:property> tag is a bean (per spec) it must point to a class implementation. I can imagine situations where a customer would prefer to point to a primitive type, such as int, short, boolean, etc. Since the spec explitily mentions that the sca:property creates a bean, this may need to be addressed at spec level. 
> Also, since constructor-args can use primitive types, if a user doesn't specify explicit spring -> sca mapping tags, is it possible to create primitive type sca properties via this mechanism?
