[Helma-user] get HopObject datatype

[Julian Tree]

I know this should be possible, but just don't know how to go about it

How to get the datatype of memebers of a hopobject

lets say the hopobject is setup as below

Company/type.properties
_db                             = filepressdb
_table                          = company
_id                             = company_id
_idgen                                  = company_company_id_seq
_name                                   = company_name
 creator                                = creator
 creationtime                                = creationtime
modifier                                = modifier
contact_name                    = contact_name
company_name                    = company_name
email                           = email
company_type                    = company_type


Is there anyway to tell whether the
Company.creationtime is a timestamp,
Company.email is a varchar,
Company._id is an integer

That information is from the database, is it recorded in a hash or
object somewhere when the applciation starts?
