tracker issue : CF-3038612

Problem:

Dumping entities with properties of char or character datatype will output a dump of object of java.lang.Character under PROPERTIES, rather than the simple character value. This only happens after persisting the entity. Before persisting the entity the property dump shows the charater value.


Method:

Sample Entity:
<cfcomponent persistent="true" entityname="User" table="Users">
	<cfproperty name="UserID" fieldtype="id" generator="native" />
	<cfproperty name="FirstName" datatype="string" length="100" />
	<cfproperty name="MI" datatype="char" notnull="false" />
	<cfproperty name="LastName" datatype="string" length="100" />
</cfcomponent>

Sample Code:

<cfscript>
user = createObject("User");
user.setFirstName("Test"); 
user.setMI("A");
user.setLastName("User");
writeDump(user); // correct output "A" for MI property
entitySave(user);
writeDump(user); // dumps java object for MI property
</cfscript>
Result:
