What is the type before you store it?
Luke, I'd imagine that it's not actually of that *type*, but rather it's just a string with that value. Before you put it into the session store it was probably a bona fide Inline::Java::Object object, but now it's probably been stringified and lost all its intrinsic object data. If the object can be serialized, you can probably put its serialized string value into the session. -Ken
