Integer add operation now yields Double instead of Long with JDK 1.8.0_101?

[Frantzius, Jörg]

Hi,

we have a JUnit test that first evaluates a Javascript file containing this:

function add(a, b) {
    return a + b;
}

The Java JUnit test itself then evaluates

engine.eval("add(4, 5)")

Just until 1.8.0_91, this used to return a 9L Long number. With 1.8.0_101, this suddenly returns a Double object 9D.

When directly evaluating the addition operation:

eval("4 + 5")

an Integer 9 is returned, both with 1.8.0_101 and 1.8.0_91.

Is this intended behaviour, or is this a bug?

Thx for responses + regards,
Jörg
