Other languages

Is Java the only language using wrapper classes, or some sort of? -- Face 08:30, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, but it is the only language I know of that has primitive wrappers as part of the standard library/language. The distinction here is that the wrapper classes are to 'wrap' the non-object primitive types in an object so that every type can be treated generically as an object. —Doug Bell talk•contrib 09:59, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Non-primitive Wrappers

It's my understanding that wrapper classes need not refer specifically to the case of primitive wrappers, and for that matter they need not be specific to Java. I believe that in general wrappers can be used to add additional layers of encapsulation, but I came here hoping for a better definition only to find that Wrapper class redirected here. Shouldn't there be a separate page for wrapper classes in general, or at least something to indicate that not all wrappers are primitive wrappers?
