Need help with req.getParameter ()method

[harpd dhillon]

I'm trying to get the values from the form and update the corrosponding database record.
I know for String variable , i would use:
member.password = req.getParameter("password");
I need to know how to get variable of type int and timestamp object.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot

they're all strings so you gotta parse em.

Take a look in the API under the class you want. For example, to get an integer:

Integer.parseInt(req.getParameter("name"));

You may also want to check whether the parameter is null first, to avoid an exception.
