Seam supports all Java-supported number types. On the client side, number values are always serialized as their String representation. They are converted to the correct destination type on the server side. Conversion into either a primitive or wrapper type is supported for Byte, Double, Float, Integer, Long and Short types.

24.7.1.3. Boolean
Copy link

Booleans are represented client-side by JavaScript Boolean values, and server-side by a Java Boolean.
