[jira] Created: (QDOX-180) Different interpretation of voids primitivity between QDox and Java reflection

Different interpretation of voids primitivity between QDox and Java reflection
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: QDOX-180
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/QDOX-180
             Project: QDox
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Java API
    Affects Versions: 1.10
            Reporter: Antti Karanta
            Priority: Minor


The QDox Type object for java type void returns false for isPrimitive() whereas in java void.class.isPrimitive() is true.

I think Java reflection APIs interpretation of void being a primitive type is weird if not outright wrong. But be that as it may, I think this difference between interpretations of this issue should be mentioned in the javadoc of Type.isPrimitive(). Alternatively Type object for void could return true for isPrimitive() for void to be consistent with Java reflection's interpretation.

Robert Scholte resolved QDOX-180.
---------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

I guess this method isn't used that much, because it's a pretty nasty bug (and for quite some time). Thanks Antti!

fix for QDOX-180: isPrimitive() should return true  for a void.
