CMP types

[Keith Rosenfield]

Hi All,
Do the abstrat getter methods for CMP have to return object types or can they return primatives? Where is this requirement stated in the spec, if anywhere?
Thanks.

Hi Keith!
I believe the answer can be deduced from the following. According to the spec, only primitive types and serializable objects can be used for assignments (setters) to cmp-fields for a cmp entity bean. It doesn't explicitly say anything about getters, but I would say that the same rules apply - you can get primitives and serializable objects.
