Generic type doesn't support raw dataypes (int, boolean, etc.)?

It seems that Java 5 generics always autoboxes raw datatypes (int, double, boolean, ...) to the wrapper classes (Integer, Double, Boolean, ...), because when I use e.g. Integer.TYPE (instead of Integer.class), I got ClassCastExceptions. Is this non-support somewhere written down or is there a way to handle raw types without autoboxing them to their wrapper class?

I'm having some difficulty understanding your question, but my first suggestion is to see section 4.4 Type Variables of the Java Language Specification, which states: "If no bound is given for a type variable, Object is assumed."

Also, I think you mean "primivite" instead of "raw" types. Raw types are the "name of a generic type declaration used without any accompanying

actual type parameters" (sectoin 4.8 Raw Types).
