Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-OriginalArrivalTime: 17 Apr 2003 18:01:16.0607 (UTC) FILETIME=[576D5CF0:01C3050B] X-Spam-Rating: daedalus.apache.org 1.6.2 0/1000/N When Digester encounters some body content, and it has been instructed to invoke a method expecting a primitive (say, an int) and pass the body content as the argument to that method, is it automatically converting the String data read from the XML stream to the appropriate type? I'm not getting an exception, so I assume so? Erik
