Re: JCA 1.5 and ActivationSpec

The config-properties on an ActivationSpec do not have to be
java.lang.String.  Since the spec is not consistent in the handling of
config-properties across the various object types (ResourceAdapter,
ManagedConnectionFactory, ActivationSpec, and AdminObjects), it gets very
confusing.  There are some hints in the spec that indicate the type of
properties that are allowed...

1)  The properties defined for the ResourceAdapter JavaBean are supposed to
be "inherited" by the ManagedConnectionFactory and ActivationSpec
instances.  Since the properties on the ResourceAdapter are defined as
config-propertyType in the XSD, that would imply that the properties on an
ActivationSpec has to support all of the basic java.lang.* types as defined
by config-property-typeType.

2)  Also, since the ActivationSpec is defined as JavaBean, any property
that is defined with the appropriate getter/setter methods should be
accessible via introspection, including complex object types.  Although the
actual setting of these complex object types might be difficult to handle
in a generic sense.  These type of properties may need extra assistance
from the Resource Adapter's documentation or utilities.  An example of this
is the "destination" property as defined in section B.2.1.1 (last
paragraph).

Hello,

Must all properties in bean ActivationSpec be type "java.lang.String"?
I found nothing about it in the spec but all their examples are using
Strings only.
SunAS 8 SP1 throws exceptions if any other type (Boolean, Integer etc.) in
the property setter is used.
Can somebody shed some light on this?

Thanks,
Stefan
