Hi,
Can I take guess that the $link.set() takes a String as its second
parameter? I've had the same problem (in reverse). My class took an int
parameter and "1" gave the same error in the log. I figured that automatic
type conversion wasn't done for me so I just changed the object in the
context....
I'm not sure if type conversion is such a fantastic idea. It will influence
all kinds of stuff like arithmetic in #set and so on. Besides it can easily
be fixed by just overloading a couple of methods.
