You are right, if there are properties with different types found under that name in the repository, it is not easy to do generally. I was thinking that one could do the cast deep-down in the lucene query handler at a point where you know which property type you have (since it is indexed somehow). But I don't know if this point exists. >> eg. from long to double, before doing the conversion. This is >> what the spec suggests (but only saying "can").
