[Resteasy-developers] Returning primitive boolean type from Proxy service method causes ClassCastException

[Lincoln B. I. <lin...@gm...>]

The client side proxy framework bails out on boolean typed return
values, using 1.1.GA:

    @GET
    @Path("/{id}/password")
    @Consumes("text/plain")
    @Produces("text/plain")
    public boolean passwordIs(final @PathParam("id") long id,
@QueryParam("p") final String password);

Using object "Boolean" return value works fine:

   public Boolean passwordIs(final @PathParam("id") long id,
@QueryParam("p") final String password);
