Hello

I have a class Person with a boolean property active.
This is a primitive boolean and not a Boolean. I prefer boolean because I want it to be either true or false, and not true/false/null.

Is this ok? Or do you suggest using Boolean?

In addition, will the restriction above give me the correct result? Restrictions.eq does not offer a method for binding primitive values.

Also, would Restrictions.eq("active", "1") work? MySQL stores my boolean property as a bit which is stored as 0 or 1.

thanks
