Question

I use this code to get integer from the http:

this.id = 
 Integer.parseInt(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().
 getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap().get("id"));

Now I need to get String from the http. Can you tell me how I can do this? In Netbeans I tested this code:

 this.id = 
   String.parseString(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().
   getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap().get("id"));

But I get an error. Can you tell me what is the proper way to do this?

P.S The error in Netbeans:

cannot find symbol
  symbol:   method parseString(java.lang.String)
  location: class java.lang.String

Answer 1

Integer.parseInt takes a String as a parameter. So you just need:

this.id = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().
          getRequestParameterMap().get("id");

As you don’t need to parse a String to get a String (as your compiler is telling you).
