Should primitive types work in config?

[John D. Ament]

Hey guys

I raised a spec level issue on MP Config because primitives don't work
quite right in Geronimo Config and when I looked at the spec, it didn't say
they should.

Basically, primitives aren't used in the TCK, and the follow behaviors are
noticed:

int port = config.getValue("some key", Integer.class); // this works via
unboxing
int port = config.getValue("some key", int.class); //fails due to missing
converter
    @Inject
    @ConfigProperty(name="some key",defaultValue = "8080")
    private int port;
// also fails due to missing converter

So should they? Is this a Geronimo specific issue?
