I don't think you are understanding what I am telling you... When you
read a parameter directly, it will be a string. It's pretty much the
same as calling -
request.getParameter("paramName");
(http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/2.2/javadoc/javax/servlet/ServletRequest.html#getParameter(java.lang.String))
Since that returns a String, it will be treated like a String. Adding
a getter to your action will pass it through the converters, etc. so
that you can treat it like a number. My second suggestion is to do
some OGNL scripting to convert it, but I would advise to add
getter/setter to your action since a NumberFormatException can be
raised (that could be silently swallowed).
