I am creating a series of Entity EJBs, using java.lang.Integer for their primary keys. XDoclet generates a Util class under the .interfaces package for each Entity bean class.
In this Util class (e.g. CustomerBeanUtil), a severe compilation error (under Eclipse) occurs in this method:
private static String hexFormat(int i, int j) {
String s = Integer.toHexString(i);
return padHex(s, j) + s;
}
Namely, “The method Integer.toHexString is undefined for the type Integer.”

I checked java.lang.Integer and it does have a method toHexString, which puzzled me.
However, I looked further and discovered that XDoclet generates an Integer class of its own in a local package, java.lang on my own PC. This local Integer class does not have the method, toHexString. This seems to be the reason for the severe compilation error in my Eclipse IDE.

Kenneth,

This behavior is basic XDoclet functionality and seems related to this known bug in XDoclet:
