Rings a bell....
Some years ago I added support for java.lang.Short and some other type I
needed (forgot what it was), guided by the Java package maintainer. Perhaps
this has to be done for java.lang.Byte as well, and maybe more Java types.

Please fill out a bug report, then I'll look into it, but do not expect
results before end of this week, maybe even later, sorry.
If it is a missing type, it'll have to be fixed in core Octave as well, I'm
afraid.

If you want to try to fix it yourself, look in OF svn, old packages, for
__java__.cc and octave.java, notably the ClassHelper stuff. 
You should be able to find it by browsing the commit messages (look for s/th
like "added java.lang.Short".); must be around Spring 2011, IIRC
