Default data type conversion

Integer

short, int, long  (short and int might result in a loss of precision).

Real number

float double  (float might result in a loss of precision.

Boolean

boolean

Date-time

java.util.Date

String, including lists

String

short, int, long, float, double, java.util.Date, when a CFML string represents a number or date.

boolean, for strings with the value Yes, No, True, and False (case-insensitive).

Array

java.util.Vector (ColdFusion Arrays are internally represented using an instance of a java.util.Vector object.)

ColdFusion can also map a CFML array to any of the following when the CFML array contains consistent data of a type that can be converted to the Java array's data type: byte[], char[], boolean[], int[], long[], float[], double[], String[], or Object[]. When a CFML array contains data of different of types, the conversion to a simple array type might fail.
