How jsp assigns the variable type for

[Starting out]

i fetched an int type from mysql and assign to variable

<c:set var="eid" value="${rs.rows[0].eid}" scope="session" />

it seems that its assigning type int since if i

String test = (String) pageContext.getAttribute("eid");

i get a cast error

but if i 

<c:set var="eid" value="1" scope="session" />

the ff
String test = (String) pageContext.getAttribute("eid");

would work
