Widget's getValue() returns an Object, so that would make sense, yes.

Probably because all Java number types (including their wrapping objects
in java.lang) get converted to a JS Number, which sounds reasonable BTW.
I suppose you could find notes on the type mapping between Java and JS
on Rhino's website.  Rhino is the Javascript interpreter used by Cocoon.

Now, if it also converted java.lang.String to JS strings automatically,
it would have spared me many a headache... unfortunately that's a
conversion that Rhino seems reluctant to do.

I believe that a Java long is an integer type.
