Isn't it handled by COBOL or some other ancient language that only supports strings?

It's Struts 1.0 running on J2EE 1.5 hosted on WebSphere which does the talking to COBOL.

COBOL serializes everything to strings in a flat file.

We're currently planning on migrating the flat files to a Sybase DB.
