Insertion of integer becomes double as a result of JavaScript

[Russell Bateman]

I must be doing something wrong in my JavaScript. I insert the construct (document) below and the "addresstype" comes back, as seen from the Java driver, as 1.0 or 2.0 instead of as an integer. I'm sure it's the fault of the JavaScript file I'm populating test data with since if I add an address through my application, this doesn't happen. When I do

    this.addresstype = ( Integer ) bson.get( "addresstype" );

In the debugger, I see

 ... "addresstype": 1.0

etc. Obviously, I crash with:

    java.lang.Double cannot be case to java.lang.Integer

How should I write this field in my JS script?

Thanks in advance.

You want to use NumberInt in javascript, much like NumberLong (for java Long)

Yes, that's it. Thanks, Scott.
