Java and database data type

[muntago Richard]

Good day. I have worked with java swing but wants to migrate some parameters and variables to servlets.
In my swing i have this

string stri1;
int int1;
str1=textfield2.getText(); // gets amount
int1=Integer.parseInt(str3);

Now how do i write this in servlet or jsp
i wrote it this way but its not working

string stri1;
int int1;
str1=request.getParameter("str1");// gets amount
int1=Integer.parseInt(str3);

varible str1 is representing amount which has integer datatype in the database. please correct me in jsp/servlet
thanks

Well, you would never write this in a JSP because it is not acceptable to put Java code in a JSP, so I'll move this to the Servlets forum.

Please explain exactly what "not working" means.

below is a swing code

str1=textfield2.getText(); // gets amount
int1=Integer.parseInt(str3);

which means that am trying to get a form field from textfield2 hence
str1=textfield2.getText(); and the form filed am trying to get has interger datatype hence
int1=Integer.parseInt(str1);


In servlet, how do i write this, i try putting it this way but it errored

str1=request.getParameter("str1");
int1=Integer.parseInt(str1);

thanks

How?

[muntago Richard]

I think the problem is here
str1=textfield2.getText();

in servlet i entered this
str1=request.getParameter("str1");

Hello,
We do not know what exception you faced.
But make sure you are getting "str1" as a request parameter and it is not null.
If you pass any non-numeric value in this request parameter then you will get NumberFormatException too. To avoid this you should validate for the "str1" if its numeric.

Continuing to keep us guessing as to what error you are getting will only delay any help further.
