What i am asking is in your example, var someStringValue is a String.But I have to convert it into a long to use in another custom tag method call which uses a long parameter instead of String.That is why i want to convert the String someStringValue to a long someLongvalue.

For example, Long myLong = Long.valueOf("7654321"); Of course, 7654321 will be replaced with your string variable. -----Original Message----- From: Balakrishnan, Vijay [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 22, 2004 3:32 PM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: convert String to Long Hi, I want to code a conversion of String to Long as done in the jsp:scriplet using jstl: <c:set var="itemIdA" value="currentPath.entityA.key" /> <jsp:scriptlet> try { Long tempLong = new Long(((PathProxy)currentPath).getEntityA().getKey()); pageContext.setAttribute("itemIdA", tempLong); } How would i do that in jstl ?
