+===Storing a Specific Data Type===
+LongValueObject can store java types boolean,byte,short,int, and long. By default when a new LongValueObject is created, the type is long. To force a specific type to be stored (in case you need to return this value as a specific type), create an Long object and get the value as a specific type:
+<code javascript>
+var LongValueObject = Java.type("com.ergotech.vib.valueobjects.LongValueObject");
+var Long = Java.type("java.lang.Long");
+javaLong = new Long(100);
+//now you can get any java type for this value (if it is in range)
+byteValue = javaLong.byteValue(); //java byte
+shortValue = javaLong.shortValue(); //java short
+longValue = javaLong.intValue(); //java int
+intValue = javaLong.longValue(); //java long
+//create the LongValueObject and with a specific type
+vo = new LongValueObject(shortValue); //stores the value as a short in the LongValueObject
