Validating string integer with parseInt

Question

(Dumb question) So far I have:
Object myObj = new JOptionPane.showInputDialog(
   "null", "Select", "Select",
   JOptionPane.DEFAULT_OPTION, null, null);
String s = myObj.toString();
myInt = Integer.parseInt(s);Trying to idiot proof it so people dont type in 'two'
Looking for a decent solution. I tried
while(myInt.equals("false"))
Object myObj = new JOptionPane.showInputDialog(
"null", "Select", "Select",
JOptionPane.DEFAULT_OPTION, null, null);
String s = myObj.toString();
myInt = Integer.parseInt(s);
But it says int cannot be dereferenced. Hmm.
I've been using the search function too..

JOptionPane.showInputDialog returns a String => no need to do Object to String conversion.
Tryint input = 0;
String message = "Select";
while (true) {
  String s = new JOptionPane.showInputDialog( "null",
                                              message,
                                              "Select",
                                              JOptionPane.DEFAULT_OPTION,
                                              null,
                                              null );
  try {
    input = Integer.parseInt(s);
    break;
  catch (NumberFormatException nfe) {
    message = "Invalid input: " + s + "\n"
              "Select";
}
