ExceptionHandledInterceptor does not treat primitive values consistently
------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: SOLDER-291
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SOLDER-291
             Project: Seam Solder
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Exception Handling
    Affects Versions: 3.1.0.Beta3
            Reporter: Jozef Hartinger
             Fix For: 3.1.0.CR1


if an method annotated with @ExceptionHandled throws an exception, ExceptionHandledInterceptor catches the exception and forwards it through Solder's exception handling framework for being handled. If the exception is handled, the method returns null for reference types and default values for primitive types. However, out of 8 primitive types that Java has, only 5 are handled this way.

The missing types are:
* byte
* double
* char

If a method defining one of the missing types as its return type throws an exception and this exception is handled by the ExceptionHandledInterceptor, the method call always throws NullPointerException.
