Validation for numeric only

[former_member187658]

Hi

I want to put the validation so tht the number entered should only be numeric. I cannot define it as int because i am using it in other validations also and for them i am using it as string. Is there a way through coding in which we can put this validation?

Thanks & regards,

Anupreet

One way is to use Integer.parseInt(String) it would return exception if it is non numeric. Handle the Exception.

What kind of "other validations" are you using?

Hi Anupreet,

As far as I know , there doesn't exists any inbuilt function to check validate the input as per your requirement. (But why do you need an attribute that accepts both numebrs & strings and then check whether it is numeric ?)

A small suggestion is to write your own Java function for the said validation. Call this function to validate your input.

Hope this helps,

Best Regards,

Nibu.
