24.7. Working with Data types

24.7.1. Primitives / Basic Types

This section describes the support for basic data types. On the server side, these values are generally compatible with either their primitive type, or their corresponding wrapper class.

24.7.1.1. String

Use JavaScript String objects to set String parameter values.

24.7.1.2. Number

Seam supports all Java-supported number types. On the client side, number values are always serialized as their String representation. They are converted to the correct destination type on the server side. Conversion into either a primitive or wrapper type is supported for Byte, Double, Float, Integer, Long and Short types.

24.7.1.3. Boolean

Booleans are represented client-side by JavaScript Boolean values, and server-side by a Java Boolean.
