Is there a method that will return an int parameter from request obj?

Hi there! Is there a method that will return an integer from the request object? "request.getParameter" only seems to return a string.


int searchtype = (int)request.getParameter("searchtype"

Thanks in Advance,

Parameters are always returned as Strings, you need to do the conversion yourself.
Example:

int number;
if (request.getParameter("number") != null) {
  try {
    number = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("number"));
  }
  catch (Exception e) {
    /* Invalid Number Do Error Handling */
  }
}
