Java Object Types for Coldfusion Variables

• Coldfusion variable is an integer
  
  <cfset someNumber = 1>
  someNumber.getClass().getName() = java.lang.String
• Coldfusion variable is the result of the Round() function
  
  <cfset someRoundNumber = Round(1)>
  someRoundNumber.getClass().getName() = java.lang.String
• Coldfusion variable is the result of dividing two integers
  
  <cfset someMathDivideResult = 1/3>
  someMathDivideResult.getClass().getName() = java.lang.String
• Coldfusion variable is a boolean
  
  <cfset someBooleanValue = true>
  someBooleanValue.getClass().getName() = java.lang.String
• Coldfusion variable is a date/time object
  
  <cfset someDateValue = Now()>
  someDateValue.getClass().getName() = java.util.Date
• Coldfusion variable is a Struct
  
  <cfset someStruct = structNew()>
  someStruct.getClass().getName() = com.naryx.tagfusion.cfm.engine.cfStructData
• Coldfusion variable is an Array
  
  <cfset someArray = ArrayNew(1)>
  someArray.getClass().getName() = com.naryx.tagfusion.cfm.engine.cfArrayListData

Never assume you know what the java data type is!

• Coldfusion variable is a counter variable inside a cfloop
  

  <cfloop from="1" to="3" step="1" index="counter">
  	<cfoutput>counter.getClass().getName() = #counter.getClass().getName()# 
  	counter=#counter# 
  	counter.toString()=#counter.toString()#<Br/>
  </cfloop>

  counter.getClass().getName() = java.lang.String counter=1 counter.toString()=1.0
  counter.getClass().getName() = java.lang.String counter=2 counter.toString()=2.0
  counter.getClass().getName() = java.lang.String counter=3 counter.toString()=3.0
