how can I trasform a string to an integer value?

Giovanni,

Not sure if this helps, set an Integer variable to the value of a String variable. 

Hi,

I tried your solution, but i can't set to integer a string.

Hi, 

Even I have same query. Can anyone please help in this.

Thanks,

Ravish

If the value of the string is 'integer', then that string value can be defined as Integer. But if the value of the string is not integer, then 'Unable to parse Integer string' will be encountered and this is expected behaviour.  So, String value cannot be transformed as Integer.

I have set a context variable "cv_Integer" as data type "Integer" with value: 0. Now, I want to increment this value. So, I tried to keep same context variable "cv_Integer" as data type "Integer" with value: ${cv_Integer} + 1".

Now, I am getting the error "Unable to parse Integer String:"

Hi,

I believe the expression in context variable is always treated as a string.

ie. in your example, it will try to cast "0 + 1" to integer, it won't calculate it first.

Except the tactical assertion mentioned by Provida Burusu, you can also use xpath to do some simple calculation.

sample policy attached.

There is a Tactical assertion named 'Evaluate Math Expression assertion' to perform these operations. You can download this fromMath Expression Assertion.
