Adding non string JSON properties

[Derek Gebhard]

Is there any way to add non-string properties when building the HAL representation?  This throws an exception for me when trying to use a boolean for instance.

Hi Derek,

Do you have any specific example code that shows this - this is covered by the tests already, see:

https://github.com/HalBuilder/halbuilder-json/blob/develop/src/test/java/com/theoryinpractise/halbuilder/json/RenderingTest.java#L116

for example.

        String href = "customer/123456";
        ReadableRepresentation party = newBaseResource(href)
                .withLink("ns:users", BASE_URL + href + "?users")
                .withProperty("id", 123456)
                .withProperty("age", 33)
                .withProperty("name", "Example Resource")
                .withProperty("optional", Boolean.TRUE)
                .withProperty("expired", Boolean.FALSE);

Thanks I looks like I made a silly mistake and was using the primitive boolean type.

Interesting - I would have thought that should have still passed as it should auto box into a Boolean object, I'll add some tests and see if/why that's happening and see about working around it if possible.
