So I'm looking at the concept of network ports in the management
API. Normally this seems pretty clear, but there are some "network
connectors" that don't actually have a port, such as the in-VM
transport for ActiveMQ.
It makes me wonder if our standard port properties should be
Integers instead of ints (they're ints and the moment). But if I
look at,
say, java.net.URI, they use an int and say that they'll return -1 if no
port is defined. That's not as obvious to me, but it works. Any
thoughts?
Staying with ints that return -1 makes sense to me.
I don't think I'm partial to either but I would prefer a general
preference for one over the other. Makes coding a bit more
predictable. I'd probably lean toward Integer's, Double's, etc. myself.
