Yes, that's already done.

Well it's just about 8% faster:
Here the optimization (but it's very simple and can be applied to the other
methods)
public static boolean isByteApache(String value) {
return formatByteApache(value) != null;
}
public static Byte formatByteApache(String value) {
Byte result = null;
try {
result = new Byte(value); // <-- assign is not needed!
} catch (Exception e) {
}
return result;
}
public static final boolean isByte( String value )
{
try
{
new Byte( value );
return true;
}
catch( Exception e )
{
return false;
}
}
Cheer,
Lo�c
ps: don't have the time to make a patch (sorry)
