Summary: Types for setThresholds on GaugeMonitor

Initial Comment:
I'm not sure if this is a bug, or is a constraint of the specification, but what I am trying to do is this...

I have an MBean with an "Amount" field of type java.math.BigDecimal. java.math.BigDecimal extends java.lang.Number.

I then want to use a GaugeMonitor to watch high/low thresholds for this attribute.

On GaugeMonitor, there is a method setThresholds( Number high, Number, low ), so presumably it is OK to use BigDecimal for these threshold values.

When I run my code, I get this warning in the trace output:

"Monitor GaugeMonitor on MyServer:type=AmountManager attribute Amount attribute, threshold, offset and modules types don't match"

This happens because in GaugeMonitor the "determineType" method checks "targetClass" explicitly for INT, LONG, BYTE, SHORT, FLOAT and DOUBLE and returns "false" if the targetClass is not one of those types.

i.e., the determineType method does not check for BigDecimal (presumably BigInteger should work as well).

Similar code exists in CounterMonitor where BigInteger should (?) work.

So, is this a bug? Or is the use of BigDecimal and BigInteger not allowed?
