[digester] How to convert the type of a XML-value before passing it as argument to bean

[Lutz Ulrich]

hello,

the XML i want to parse with digester contains long values converted to
hexadecimal format, like

<value>34FA5</value>

since the text represents a long value, the corresponding bean
shall have a corresponding long property, not a string property:

class MyBean
{
  long value;

  public long getValue() { return value; }
  public void setValue(long value) { this.value = value; }
}

how do you convert the long value given as a hexadezimal string
to long without letting the conversion be part of the bean logic?

of course, i know the conversion routine java.lang.Long.parseLong(String
s, int radix).
but how do i configure my digester to call this method before passing
the
resulting value to the bean?

regards,
lutz
