----------------------------------------------------------------

FWIW, scalar results will be a different type according to the javadocs:

{code}
   * @return The object that represents the result of the query. Note that if a query is just a
   *         select statement then it will return a result that is an instance of
   *         {@link SelectResults}. However, since a query is not necessarily just a select
   *         statement, the return type of this method is <code>Object</code>. For example, the
   *         query <code><b>(select distinct * from /rgn).size</b></code> returns an instance of
   *         <code>java.lang.Integer</code>.
{code}

I agree that a better return type than 'Object' would make the API easier to use.

> Query.execute's signature says the return type is Object.  It seems to always be a {{SearchResults}} object, so why not return that?
