Injection of primitive with required=false

[dilator]

If the value to inject does not exist, Seam tries to set the primitive to null.

A simple fix might be included in the Reflections.set method:

public static void set(Field field, Object target, Object value) throws Exception
 {
 if (value == null && field.getClass().isPrimitive()) return;

However, I suppose this does slightly change the injection semantics of stateful components - perhaps the field should be set to the default value for that primitive (i.e. false for boolean, zero for everything else).

What do people think?

I would think that a warning to to biject using primitives might be a good idea.

Yeah that works too :)
