Use the torque type "NUMERIC" instead of type "INTEGER". It'll return 
java.math.BigDecimal (which can be null) instead of int. Check out my faq at:
http://g42.org/programming/torque/TorqueHowto.html
There's a list of types at the bottom.

If anyone wants to take that faq and convert it to xdoc or whatever it 
needs to be to be displayed on the torque website then be my guest. I'm not 
willing to figure out how to use a cvs client to get the code to run the 
translator which would then convert the xml I would then write to an xdoc 
so that I could then use cvs to submit it to the site. It's too much hassle.
