i've created at ticket about which conversion rules we speak SLING-6420 and outlinded them in a wiki page https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/x/OQkIB the main features missing in ValueMapDecorator are conversion rules for Date, Calendar, BigDecimal, byte, short. some conversion rules from jcr.resource are questionable (e.g. convert boolean true -> 1 -> Date). stefan
