There's never a reason to cast anything to
a specific subtype of Number if you're just
going to extract a primitive from it.  Casting
to Number (the MyFaces way) is better.

Hi,

I pass in a Number (Integer) to a converter, let's say DoubleConverter
and I get a classcastexception.

the RI does:
try {
            return (Float.toString(((Float) value).floatValue()));
        }

MyFaces does:
try
        {
            return Double.toString(((Number)value).doubleValue());
        }

Shouldn't the RI use Number as well ?
