The following change to how bytes are cast to java introduced in Lucee 7.1.2.173 is causing spreadsheet-cfml to fail.

https://luceeserver.atlassian.net/browse/LDEV-5193

Repro

rgbBytes = [ 255, 0, 0 ] //RED
bytes = JavaCast( "byte[]", rgbBytes )
dump( bytes )

Result in Lucee 7.1.2.172 and below

Native byte array

Result in Lucee 7.1.2.173 and above

@Julian_Halliwell ,
Created a bug ticket for this issue: LDEV-6915.

The issue is reproducible in Lucee 7.1.3.0-SNAPSHOT. I’ll investigate the root cause, work on a fix, and provide further updates here.

Thanks Julian, this looks like a regression from LDEV-5193, tracked as LDEV-6915. The old behaviour of wrapping values 128–255 into a signed byte should keep working, and we’ll make sure the fix lands in 7.1.x.

The library shouldn’t be relying on that conversion so I’ve added a fix at my end.
