Spring @RequestParam mapping Boolean based on 1 or 0 instead of true or false

I think we may need more detail in order to be effective answering your question.

I have working Spring 3.2 code along the lines of:

@RequestMapping(value = "/foo/{id}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
@ResponseBody
public Foo getFoo(
    @PathVariable("id") String id, 
    @RequestParam(value="bar", required = false, defaultValue = "true")
        boolean bar)
{ 
    ... 
}

Spring correctly interprets ?bar=true, ?bar=1, or ?bar=yes as being true, and ?bar=false, ?bar=0, or ?bar=no as being false.

True/false and yes/no values ignore case.
