Fixnums are inconsistently converted when target type is java.lang.Object
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JRUBY-3990
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-3990
Project: JRuby
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Java Integration
Affects Versions: JRuby 1.3.1
Reporter: Charles Oliver Nutter
Assignee: Charles Oliver Nutter
Fix For: JRuby 1.4
In some cases, such as calling methods that receive Object, a Fixnum will be
converted to the narrowest boxed java.lang.Number type, such as Byte or Short.
In other cases, such as when pulling values out of a RubyArray as though it
were a java.util.List, Fixnum is only converted to Long. A single consistent
case is needed, and we have decided on the "smallest possible" path as the
right way to go to allow all cases to treat the default Fixnum coercible as a
java.lang.Number.
Changes are being tested and should be committed shortly.
