hi kishore shikore ,

set the data type of your value attribute "range" to integer.

if your value attribute "range" is of type integer

then no need to validate it for string , when ever user will

enter string value in that field at run time it will give error

automatically. just try

Hi,

set the data type of this attribute to integer.

OR

String val = wdContext.currentContextElement().getRange();
	  try{
		  Integer.parseInt(val);
	  }catch(NumberFormatException e)
	  {
		  //Not a valid number
	  }
