Converting Object into primitives

Can someone help me, i am calling a method that return Object and i want to know how i can cast it as an int or a char or a double
thanx for any help in advance

If the Object type is valid for a cast, just do it:
Object o = 55;
int i = (int)o;
double d = (double)o;
char c = (char)o;
If you attempt to cast something that's not valid - for instance a String, it'll throw
"ClassCastException: Cannot cast java.lang.String to int"

  • Casting Object into primitive

    I'm using java reflection to return value of an attribute from a Class. The attribute is a float primitive. However, the return form is an Object. How do I cast it into the float primitive again?
    Thanks.
    LG

    From the API for Method.invoke: >>if the value has a primitive type, it is first appropriately wrapped in an object<<
    So if the method returns a float primitive, Method.invoke will return a Float object.

    But the value of third row and 4th row im gettin an exception
    java.lang.Integer cannot cast to java.lang.String
    please help anyone

    If the data in the model is of type Integer you can't cast it to String.
    You need to cast this to Integer and call intValue method to get as int.
    If you want further help post a [Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE)|http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html] that demonstrates the problem.

  • How do I (or can I) convert an embedded smart object into a linked smart object

    If I start with an embedded Smart Object (S.O)., can I easily convert in into a linked type of S.O.? I have not seen this feature available in the tooling yet. Please advise.

    Since an embedded smart object is, well, embedded, there's no way to just convert. You'll have to point a link somewhere.
    If you want to keep the smart object as is, open it and "Save As" to a new location, then link to that (Place Linked). Then delete the old.

  • How can I convert table object into table record format?

    I need to write a store procedure to convert table object into table record. The stored procedure will have a table object IN and then pass the data into another stored procedure with a table record IN. Data passed in may contain more than one record in the table object. Is there any example I can take a look? Thanks.

    I'm afraid it's a bit labourious but here's an example.

    > ISA Server is not configured to allow SSL requests from this port. Most Web browsers use port 443 for SSL requests. (12204)
    This seems to be your specific network configuration.  It seems that your corporate network is blocking HTTPS requests which don't use port 443. Your ABAP system is configured to use a port other than 443. Either talk to your basis admins about changing your ABAP system configuration to use port 443 or talk to your network administrators to allow whichever port the ABAP system is running on.

  • Converting object wrapper type array into equivalent primary type array

    Hi All!
    My question is how to convert object wrapper type array into equivalent prime type array, e.g. Integer[] -> int[] or Float[] -> float[] etc.
    Is sound like a trivial task however the problem is that I do not know the type I work with. To understand what I mean, please read the following code -
    //Method signature
    Object createArray( Class clazz, String value ) throws Exception;
    //and usage should be as follows:
    Object arr = createArray( Integer.class, "2%%3%%4" );
    //"arr" will be passed as a parameter of a method again via reflection
    public void compute( Object... args ) {
        a = (int[])args[0];
    //or
    Object arr = createArray( Double.class, "2%%3%%4" );
    public void compute( Object... args ) {
        b = (double[])args[0];
    //and the method implementation -
    Object createArray( Class clazz, String value ) throws Exception {
         String[] split = value.split( "%%" );
         //create array, e.g. Integer[] or Double[] etc.
         Object[] o = (Object[])Array.newInstance( clazz, split.length );
         //fill the array with parsed values, on parse error exception will be thrown
         for (int i = 0; i < split.length; i++) {
              Method meth = clazz.getMethod( "valueOf", new Class[]{ String.class });
              o[i] = meth.invoke( null, new Object[]{ split[i] });
         //here convert Object[] to Object of type int[] or double[] etc...
         /* and return that object*/
         //NB!!! I want to avoid the following code:
         if( o instanceof Integer[] ) {
              int[] ar = new int[o.length];
              for (int i = 0; i < o.length; i++) {
                   ar[i] = (Integer)o;
              return ar;
         } else if( o instanceof Double[] ) {
         //...repeat "else if" for all primary types... :(
         return null;
    Unfortunately I was unable to find any useful method in Java API (I work with 1.5).
    Did I make myself clear? :)
    Thanks in advance,
    Pavel Grigorenko

    I think I've found the answer myself ;-)
    Never thought I could use something like int.class or double.class,
    so the next statement holds int[] q = (int[])Array.newInstance( int.class, 2 );
    and the easy solution is the following -
    Object primeArray = Array.newInstance( token.getPrimeClass(), split.length );
    for (int j = 0; j < split.length; j++) {
         Method meth = clazz.getMethod( "valueOf", new Class[]{ String.class });
         Object val = meth.invoke( null, new Object[]{ split[j] });
         Array.set( primeArray, j, val );
    }where "token.getPrimeClass()" return appropriate Class, i.e. int.class, float.class etc.

  • Convert an Object into a String

    Good day to everyone. I am trying to do a little coding in which a user will input his desired username. I want to check the database if the desired username of the current user is existing, so there'll be no duplication. I'm using JPA for the model and JSF for the controller and view.
    Here's my Model.
    @Entity

            this.id = id;
        @Override

  • Converting EJB Object into XML

    All:
    Suppose I have an EJB that is named MyDog, it has attributes as follows:
    name
    breed
    weight
    age
    Is there a way to convert this Object into an XML document? Something like:
    <?xml version=\"1.0\" ?>
    <MyDog>
    <name>Bubba</name>
    <breed>Australian Shepherd</breed>
    <weight>65 lbs</weight>
    <age>6 years old</age>
    </MyDog>
    I can't find any information on doing this - any ideas, links, etc? There has to be a way to do this, but I can't find it. I'm welcome to any ideas out there!

    check JAXB - might be usefull for you: http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxb/index.html

    I used the java.io.SequenceInputStream to concatenate two input streams (basically .pdf files) into a single input stream. I need to create a single multipage pdf file using this input stream. Then you need a pdf API, like iText or fop. You can't just concatenate pdf files, word docs, excel sheets, etc., like you can text files. Google for java pdf api.

    Thanks for you help in advance..

    Only text format allows you to concatenate two files together to get a longer files.
    Most formats have a header and a footer and so you cannot simply add one to the other.
    You need to use a PDF API which will allow you to build the new document (if one exists)
