public interface Foo
{
     public int getType();
     public int intValue();
     public double doubleValue();
     public long timeValue();
     public String stringValue();
     public boolean booleanValue();
     public boolean equals(Foo val);
     public Object clone();
}

so the subclasses would be
public class FooInt implements Foo
{
        private int val;

        public FooInt( int val )
        {
                this.val = val;
        }

        public int getType()
        {
                return FooConst.INTEGER;
        }

        public int intValue()
        {
                return val;
        }

        public double doubleValue()
        {
                throws InvalidValueType(); // some custom exception
        }
        ....
        public FooInt()
        {
        }

        public void setVal( int val )
        {
                this.val = val;
        }

        public int getVal()
        {
                return val;
        }
}
