Renaming C struct properties using SWIG %apply

I have the below structure in my SWIG interface file and thusly my sample.h header file. I'm assuming the sockaddr, ios_boolean and unsigned char definitions from this structure are the reason why I get the below generated classes. If I know the type on that ios_boolean and unsigned char map to on the Java side is there a way to use an %apply to get rid of the generated pointer classes? I tried %apply int {ios_boolean}; but then I get a SWIGTYPE_p_boolean.java. Any ideas?

%rename (Sample) sample_details_t_;
typedef struct sample_details_t_ {               
    ios_boolean                   is_allowed;           
    unsigned char                 mac[11];        
 } sample_t;


 generates:
 SWIGTYPE_p_unsigned_char.java
 SWIGTYPE_p_ios_boolean.java

Exception:

 [exec] ewapi_wrap.c:982: error: `true' undeclared (first use in this function)
 [exec] ewapi_wrap.c:982: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
 [exec] ewapi_wrap.c:982: error: for each function it appears in.)
 [exec] ewapi_wrap.c:982: error: `false' undeclared (first use in this function

You probably want to do something like:

%include <arrays_java.i>
%rename (Sample) sample_details_t_;
%apply bool { ios_boolean };
typedef struct sample_details_t_ {               
    ios_boolean                   is_allowed;           
    unsigned char                 mac[11];        
 } sample_t;

This wraps mac as short[] (with constraints on the array size) and is_allowed as boolean on the Java side and results in these files:

Sample.java test.java testJNI.java

Make sure you delete any old SWIGTYPE_*.java files that are lying around from older versions of your SWIG interface, they won't get deleted automatically and might fail to compile if you do something like javac *.java.
