Integer Validation Simple Type

Question

Hi to all
we have requirement that the value entered should be with in the range 0 to 9999
For this in webdynpro for java i tried to create a simple type of integer  with minimum inclusive as 0 and maximum inclusive as 9999
but if we give say 99999 it gives valid message -- Value 99999 must be smaller than MaxExclusive 9999
if we give  23423423423423423423 it gives the java message integer range should be with in this range -2147483648 and  +21...)
if we give decimal values it gives the same java message integer range should be with in this range
2147483648 and  +21...)
For me
i should always be able to get this message Value 99999 must be smaller than MaxExclusive 9999 or
Value -1 must be greater than or the same as Minclusive 0
irrespective of the input
is there any way that i can have this kind of message
to conclude what ever the input i give it should give me message value should be with in the range 0 to 9999
could some one please help in this tricky requirement
Thanks in advance
Regards
Chandra

Answer 1

Saleem, the user is entering a numeric value, question is which data type it is, int/float/long/double
Chandra,
Value 1.1 is not an integer value or a long value. The data type is float.
when you converted it in a string, look for the indexof(.), and check the value of string after (.), it should not be greater than 0. If it is, the entered number is not an integer.
so it goes like this
string a = substring( string after " ." ) ;
int i = int value of a ;
if ( i > 0 ) "please enter an integer value " ;
else{ conver to lang and do remaining process }
