Exception in parse method of opencsv

[Abhishek Mish]

Hi All,
I am using openCsv to bind the csv content to java bean object.
Below is the code snippet,

csvReader = new CSVReader(new FileReader(file),'|','\'',1);			
List allElements = csvReader.readAll();
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
CSVWriter writer = new CSVWriter(sw);
writer.writeAll(allElements);

ColumnPositionMappingStrategy strat = new ColumnPositionMappingStrategy();
strat.setType(AddressBean.class);
String[] columns = new String[] {"name", "address", "code"};
strat.setColumnMapping(columns);
CsvToBean csv = new CsvToBean();
ArrayList<AddressBean> list = (ArrayList<AddressBean>)csv.parse(strat, new StringReader(sw.toString()));

Above code works fine if my bean class as below

public class AddressBean {
    
    private String name;
    private String address;
    private String code;

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public String getAddress() {
        return address;
    }

    public void setAddress(String address) {
        this.address = address;
    }

    public String getCode() {
        return code;
    }

    public void setCode(String code) {
        this.code= code;
    }

But the problem if setCode of my bean class accept any other datatype other than String. If the getters/setters are changed as below

public BigDecimal getCode() {
        return code;
    }

    public void setCode(BigDecimal code) {
        this.code= code;
    }

Then it throws exception while parsing csv file, does that mean it will work only for strings.

Thanks in Advance.
