Actually for all other types (double, short, byte...) a NumberFormatException is
thrown instead of a ClassCastException if the value of the property is not
compatible with the type. I'm not sure throwing a ClassCastException for
incompatible values is the best choice because we are not casting a reference
there, maybe an IllegalArgumentException is best suited for this case.
