[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #40852] problem with getting values of HashMap when key is Integer or String (java package)

[Michael Goffioul]

Update of bug #40852 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Invalid                
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #1:

1) you mixed-up getStringStringMap and getIntegerStringMap in your tests;
things should work fine with getStringStringMap

2) due to automatic boxing/unboxing between octave and java, you need to be
careful about what you're doing; if you want to pass a java.lang.Integer to
java, you need to use a int32 on the octave-side; atm there's no equivalent to
java.lang.Long (using int64 won't do the trick)

3) due to the nature of HashMap.get method, which accepts a Object argument,
the octave/java binding will not be able to auto-cast a double into
java.lang.Integer; the bindings don't know that the key type is integer (the
octave/java bindings code pre-dates support for generic classes in java)

Please note that the java package is now obsolete and that the octave/java
integration is now part of core octave.
