ok, nevermind, I figured it out, you use the BaseClass methods addTextField,
addNumberField, etc..

in a somewhat related question, is it possible to add properties to a class
from a script? (velocity, groovy, etc)

Hello Dan,
To find out what is the data type of a field you need to get the its class
with $field.class and depending on your needs, you can have something
like:
$field (1)
$field.class (class java.lang.Integer)
$field.class.name (java.lang.Integer)
$field.class.simpleName (Integer)
If by "field" Dan means the property of an object attached to a wiki page
#set ($field =
$xwiki.getDocument('Blog.BlogIntroduction').getObject('Blog.BlogPostClass').getProperty('publishDate'))
then the field type can be obtained from the XClass
#set ($fieldType =
$xwiki.getDocument('Blog.BlogPostClass').getxWikiClass().get('publishDate'))
$fieldType.classType
$fieldType.type
This is documented at
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/APIGuide#HAccessobjectsinapage
.
Hope this helps,
Marius
Hope this is what you need,
Alex
