not that I know of. The PHP/Java Bridge protocol
shouldn't touch integral types(integer, boolean, ...).

BTW: The bridge doesn't convert anything. A
java.lang.String and a java.lang.Integer is not
converted (unless you use the deprecated php 4
java.so). What you probably mean is: How are objects
displayed?

The standard procedure is ObjectToString(Object ob),
see JavaBridge.java, which displays all objects as
[o(Type):StringRepresentation].  The only exception is
the String type, there exists a method
ObjectToString(String ob) which displays the object as
"StringRepresentation".

We could remove the ObjectToString(String o) and
modify ObjectToString(Object o) so that o->toString()
is called for any object.

But you need to convince me that such a behaviour is
useful. :)

Well Integer is an object, not primitive type. Isn't
it possible to pull the integer value from the above
Integer object and display that?

For example:

  echo $Integer->getIntValue();

should display 123.

That's why I'd like to keep the current behaviour.
Your $integer is a java object, not a primitive type.
Displaying it as "123" will make the debugging process
more difficult.

However, you are probably upgrading from PHP4, where
autoconversion was the default behavour. There is a
protocol header option.
