It's also totally random behaviour to sometimes get a String from an otherwise numeric attribute. I'm not sure that there's a really simple fix that'll magically solve every case we could come across, but I do believe that if we find the cases where this behaviour is biting people, we'll probably be able to solve those cases nicely. My understanding is that the most common case is something along the lines of "I want to store the number of cents instead of a dollar amount"? What else breaks? It seems the real problem is two fold: 1) it's kinda surprising that overriding the accessors doesn't automatically work 2) The docs outright lie and tell you that it will work. > The docs really do make it seem like it calls the method.
