Using Long in velocity templates

[paul.barry]

I know this is more of a velocity question, but has anyone figured out a good way to deal with Long objects in velocity templates? If you have the following velocity code:

${myNumber > 0}

This works if myNumber is an Integer, but I haven't found any way to use greater than or less than with a Long. I am using a Long to represent the PK of objects that model database rows. This seems to be common practice, so I figure there has to be some way to use greater and less than with velocity templates.

Looks like a bug. Can't think of any good reason it wouldn't work.
