There's no really good way to do this. You could either use the java rapper classes like java.lang.integer or an array. FOr an example of an array see this link

Hi Folks, I am familiar with Java's passing all parameters to methods strictly by value. I am also familiar with how it always uses references to indicate objects, and so passing objects by reference is easily accomplished from a practical standpoint--the values of the references are actually passed, but the end result is much the same. I'm unsure though as to what would be the most effective way of passing a primitive type to a method in such a way that the method can modify the original variable. Thanks in advance for any thoughts.Jared __________View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
