public class CoercionUtil
extends Object

This class provides a bunch of static methods to try and coerce one data type into another if permitted and possible. A lot could probably be done here... From virtually any object, try to get it as one of the following: Boolean Byte Character Decimal Double Float Integer Long Short String
