  We consider free massive and massless higher integer spins in AdS backgrounds
in general D dimensions. We obtain the solutions corresponding to the
highest-weight state of the spin-\ell representations of the SO(2,D-1) isometry
groups. The solution for the spin-\ell field is expressed recursively in terms
of that for the spin-(\ell-1). Thus starting from the explicit spin-0, all the
higher-spin solutions can be obtained. These solutions allow us to derive the
generalized Breitenlohner-Freedman bound, and analyze the asymptotic falloffs.
In particular, solutions with negative mass square in general have falloffs
slower than those of the Schwarzschild AdS black holes in the AdS boundaries.
