Array of numbers to Array of java primitives

hello!

I'm having troubles.  I'm attempting to send a object which contains an 
Array.  This array contains numbers.  The java object it is mapped to 
expects an a list of primitive longs.  This results in a class cast 
exception.

what is the best way to do this?  any suggestions would be greatly 
appreciated!

I also came across this post :

Thanks, Aral. It's my pleasure to help the RIA developer community.

Yes, I came across two issues. One was with the migration from MM Flash 
Remoting to OpenAMF. With MM Flash Remoting, some arrays of numbers were 
passed as Doubles, where with OpenAMF they were Integers. The second 
issue had to do with the version of OpenAMF.

With the Java type of numbers passed via OpenAMF, diagnosis of this 
issue was a little tricky. The error manifested itself as what appeared 
to be a Tomcat connection issue, but it became very obvious when I saw a 
logged ClassCastException error. The fix was trivial in this application 
as we only deal with what are effectively Integers, but there are some 
implications. I hope that OpenAMF isn't trying to intelligently type the 
numbers that come down the wire (unlikely, but what happens when Flash 
passes a double or a float?).

The other issue is with the version of OpenAMF, currently 0.9 works but 
any later version doesn't (in our particular application). I haven't 
looked into it in any detail but I'll post more about this when I have it.
