[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS-2587?page=comments#action_12447873 ] Henri Yandell commented on AXIS-2587: -------------------------------------
Looking at the history of the file (http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/webservices/axis/trunk/java/src/org/apache/axis/types/UnsignedLong.java) it was originally based on a Double rather than a BigInteger. So that would suggest the (double) constructor is either intentional or unintentional legacy. It was changed in this revision: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/webservices/axis/trunk/java/src/org/apache/axis/types/UnsignedLong.java?r1=257456&r2=259888 as a part of https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS-1344. Dims said: (needed to keep the old constructor) > NumberFormatException for new UnsignedLong( double ) > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: AXIS-2587 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS-2587 > Project: Apache Axis > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Basic Architecture > Affects Versions: current (nightly) > Reporter: Alexis Reigel > > The double constructor for the class org.apache.axis.types.UnsignedLong > raises a NumberFormatException exception if the argument is a double value. > E.g. > <code>UnsignedLong ulong = new UnsignedLong(1D);</code> > The Problem lies in the constructor itself. The line > <code>new BigInteger(Double.toString(value))</code> > calls the constructor of java.lang.BigInteger which expects a string defined > as follows: "The String representation consists of an optional minus sign > followed by a sequence of one or more decimal digits". In the case of a > double value this fails of course. > I'm not sure about the purpose of this constructor anyway. Why would you want > to create a long from a double? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
