PeopleCode and Java Data Types Mapping

The following table describes the matching of types for resolution of overloaded Java methods and basic conversions. The first Java Type/Class is the one that is produced in the absence of any other type of information.

PeopleCode Type	Java Type/Class
Float	double, float
Number	double, float, byte, char, short, int, long
Integer	int, byte, char, short, long
Boolean	Boolean
String	java.lang.String
Date	java.sql.Date
Time	java.sql.Time
Date Time	java.util.Date
any kind of object	any kind of object

The following table represents the conversions done to produce the Java class java.lang.Object. In addition to these, the conversions (listed in the previous table) from String onwards are done to produce a java.lang.Object.

PeopleCode Type	Java Type/Class
Float, Number	java.lang.Double
Integer	java.lang.Integer
Boolean	java.lang.Boolean

The following table represents other conversions that are done as required by the signature of a Java method or constructor.

PeopleCode Type	Java Class
Integer, Number, Float	java.lang.Integer, java.lang.Byte, java.lang.Character, java.lang.Short, java.lang.Long, java.lang.Float, PeopleSoft.PeopleCode.intHolder, PeopleSoft.PeopleCode.doubleHolder
String	PeopleSoft.PeopleCode.StringHolder
peoplecode builtin class Xxx	PeopleSoft.PeopleCode.Xxx
JavaObject	corresponding Java object
