Hey,

I've got a protocol where many of the methods which do not return a
response; that is, they have "response": "null" in the protocol definition.
When I use the Java Specific compiler, I end up with a method whose return
type is java.lang.Void, rather than void. If, in the server implementation,
I use "void" rather than "Void" as the return type of the method, javac
complains that I have not implemented the interface correctly. Yet if I make
Void the return type of the implementing method, I can't figure out what to
return! new Void() doesn't work, and return; doesn't work either.

My knowledge of Java is quite limited, so any guidance on what to do here
would be helpful.

Thanks,
Jeff

For the mysterious Void object type use 'null'.

Pretty non obvious.. dog!
