Well from a CF angle you have IsSimpleValue(), IsNumeric(), IsArray(), IsStruct(), IsObject() and IsQuery().
Were you hoping for something along the lines of Type(yourVar)? There's bound to be a Java solution but whether it's simple or pretty, someone else will have to answer that one.

Does anyone have any ideas for how to discover a variable's type? (ie. Query, Structure, Array, etc) I feel like this should be something easy to do but I just can't think of a way to do it. I want to be able to take a given variable and do different things to it depending on its type. Any help would be great. Thanks.
