Perpetuation of boolean value while passed inside multiple function calls
<p>In the below code, will the cahnges made to the Boolean value modifyPerson within the function be maintained or will it change to its initial value each time a new function is called.</p>

<p>Also i would like to know what difference is there if i use primitive boolean modifyPerson instead of Boolean .</p>

<pre><code>public void validatePersonDTO(PersonDTO personDTO, TransactionLogDTO logDTO,ArrayList regionIdList,Boolean modifyPerson) {
    try {

        validateEffectiveIn(personDTO, logDTO,modifyPerson);

        validateCdsId(personDTO, logDTO,regionIdList,modifyPerson);

        validateEmpFirstName(personDTO, logDTO);

        validateEmpLastName(personDTO, logDTO);

        validateFinDept(personDTO, logDTO,modifyPerson);

        validateEmployeeClass(personDTO, logDTO,modifyPerson);

        validateWorkLoadandBudgetFTE(personDTO, logDTO,modifyPerson);

        validateStatusandDescription(personDTO, logDTO,modifyPerson);

        validateSalGrade(personDTO, logDTO);

        validateCostRate(personDTO, logDTO);

        validateJobCode(personDTO, logDTO,modifyPerson);

        validateRateCardCharged(personDTO, logDTO);

        validateSupervisorId(personDTO, logDTO);

    }catch (Exception e) {
        logDTO.setGyr("R");
        logDTO.setMessage(logDTO.getMessage()+";"+"PersonDTO could not be validated");
        //LOGGER.error("personDTO could not be validated: " + personDTO, e);
    }
}


protected void validateEffectiveIn(PersonDTO personDTO, TransactionLogDTO logDTO,boolean modifyPerson) throws Exception{



    todaysDate=convStringToDate(now(),Constants.DATE_PATTERN_LONG);

    if(effIn.after(todaysDate)){
        modifyPerson=true;
        logDTO.setGyr("R");
        logDTO.setMessage(logDTO.getMessage()+";"+"Error in Effective In date "+effIn.toString()+"cannot be greater than today’s date");
        throw new Exception ("Error in Effective In date "+effIn.toString()+"cannot be greater than today’s date");
    }

    else{
    modifyPerson=false;
    }
}
</code></pre>
