Widget's getValue() returns an Object, so that would make sense, yes.

Probably because all Java number types (including their wrapping objects
in java.lang) get converted to a JS Number, which sounds reasonable BTW.
I suppose you could find notes on the type mapping between Java and JS
on Rhino's website.  Rhino is the Javascript interpreter used by Cocoon.

Now, if it also converted java.lang.String to JS strings automatically,
it would have spared me many a headache... unfortunately that's a
conversion that Rhino seems reluctant to do.

I believe that a Java long is an integer type.

To prove this you need a number out of the integer scope.

3.5 is for sure already truncated by the Java type conversion to Long. 
This has nothing to do with flowscript.

Not sure from your description if fd:group is the best tool for your 
goal, but I'll try to answer your questions.

In flowscript, you can traverse the widget tree with the form instance's 
lookupWidget method:

    form.lookupWidget("groupA/groupB/field");

The argument is an xpath-like syntax.  Your fd:groups are container 
widgets so they'll be nodes in the path.

In your JXTemplate, you use the ft:group element.  See the Template 
section on 
http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/widgets/widget_group.html and let 
us know if you have any more questions.

Log categories for POJOs implementing AbstractLogEnabled

How can I configure logging categories for a POJO that implements
AbstractLogEnabled?

Its methods (containing the logging statements) are called by various
Actions and Generators; before these calls are made, the actions/generators
call pojo.enableLogging(getLogger()) to initialize the POJO's logger.

I have confirmed that the logging works -- I see log entries in the default
log target. But how can I assign a category to them?

I have seen how sitemap components can have their category defined eg.
logger="...". I see that the log entries coming from my pojo are getting the
category of the calling component. I don't want that; I want to create a
special category just for my POJO.

Aren't you mixing up 'long' with 'double'? I think you need <datatype 
base="double"/> or <datatype base="decimal"/> for a value like 3.5...

See [1] for more info.

so if i got you right, there is no way to handle form processing in a called
block, because all information of the request is lost?
