Character not a primitive type ?

[Bruno Marchesson]

Hello Hanson,

I got an error (IllegalArgumentException) when trying to clone an object with a 'char' attribute.
I looked the source, and it looks loke the Characted class is not considered as a primitive type in the following ClassUtils :

public static boolean immutable(Class c) {
        if (c == null)
            return false;
        return c == String.class
            || c.isPrimitive()
            || c.isEnum()
            || Number.class.isAssignableFrom(c) && isJavaPackage(c)
            || Boolean.class == c
            ;
    }

I modified the test by adding a comparison to java.lang.Character, and the clone call do not throw exception anymore.

Can you confirm my understand of the problem is right ? Can you add the correction in the next release ?

Regards
Bruno

Thanks for reporting this.  I've added both Character and Byte for checking for immutability:
