There is a lack of support in the documentation for java extensions. Restrictions on the types of the parameters are not mentioned. Primitive java types cannot be used, and in fact one must use the wrapper classes instead. 

Simple solution might be to mention this fact, and probably to suggest using the adapter pattern( solution offered also by Christian Dietrich). Also, the correspondence between the types should be mentioned( for example the Integer type in XPand corresponds to the Long java type).

Reproducible: Always

This is a batch close of open M2T Xpand bugs. It is not planned work on this component in the foreseeable future. If you think this issue needs to be solved and you plan to contribute a fix then feel free to reopen it.
