Schema types that are returned for each supported Java Object type

Note: If you map the returned Value element to a target element that has a different schema type, a type cast occurs; see Casting from primitive types to primitive types. The cast might fail if the schema types are incompatible. If the global cache entry was created by a Cache Put transform, the Java Object type of the cache entry is detailed in the following topic: Java Object types that are created for each schema input type.

For example, if a Cache Put transform maps an element of schema type xs:dateTime to a cache entry, the cache entry is created with a Java Object type of java.lang.String. If you use a Cache Get transform to retrieve the entry from the cache, the Value element is returned with a schema type of xs:string. In the nested mapping for the Cache Return transform, you can map the returned Value element to a target element of schema type xs:dateTime.
