asObject

public static java.lang.Object asObject(long l)

asObject

public static java.lang.Object asObject(short s)

asObjectList

public static java.util.List asObjectList(java.lang.Object list)

Convert arrays containing primitive types such as int[] into a List containing the Object version of the primitive type.

For instance, if the array is of type int[], the result will be a List containing Integer instances.

Deep arrays will also be converted, so a List containing String[] and char[] will be converted to a List containing another List of Strings and a List of Characters.

Parameters:

list - Array or List to be converted

Returns:

A List where arrays are converted to Lists and primitive types to their Object version.
