Hi Craig, the spec changes sound good to me.
If we do not like this new functionality inculding auto-boxing and converters, I can add an additional converter IntToStringConverter, that is then used for the int field of PCPoint, etc. But I think we should support auto-boxing and converters, so I agree with the proposed changes. Regards Michael I've reviewed the latest test cases for JDO-709 proposed by Michael. The test cases introduce functionality not yet described by the specification. So I've added the following to Chapter 6 in the Primitive types section. Fields and properties of primitive types may use a converter in order to convert values to and from database types. Because of auto-boxing, the converter may be defined to use the Java object type corresponding to the primitive type. And I've added the following to Chapter 6 in the Immutable Object Class types section. Fields and properties of immutable object types may use a converter in order to convert values to and from database types.
