It depends on what you mean by "*.cfg" files. Are these the files maintained internally by the config admin service ? Or is this the files handled by fileinstall ? In the first case the config admin service internally ensures with type tags that properties are read into the correct type when loading. In fact, the Felix config admin service implementation does not use the metatype service: It just stores and loads the data types as they are provided in the configuration object. There is no conversion involved. For fileinstall, I don't know.
