In this case I'd like to understand what behaviour is correct
and what should be made to satisfy the users. I have no any preference.
Thanks,
Vladimir.

I have tried both. And both differ from RI.

Well, there are some nuances nevertheless. I have wrote a small test
(that was close to my orginal test) and ran it on four different VMs.
The test simply does TestBean.class.getDeclaredMethods() and prints
the resulting array.
TestBean.java:
class TestBean {
String methodCalled = null;
public void method(Integer i) {
methodCalled = "method1";
}
public void method(int i) {
methodCalled = "method2";
}
public void method(boolean b) {
methodCalled = "method3";
}
public void method(Boolean b) {
methodCalled = "method4";
}
}
The results:
RI (Sun 1.5.0_05)
method int
method boolean
method java.lang.Boolean
method java.lang.Integer
j9 v3
method java.lang.Integer
method int
method boolean
method java.lang.Boolean
DLRVM
method java.lang.Integer
method int
method boolean
method java.lang.Boolean
jrockit-R26.3.0-jdk1.5.0_06
method java.lang.Boolean
method boolean
method int
method java.lang.Integer
