Hi,

This method returns an exception which is thrown by SQLInteger.setValue(String theValue) if the String passed in cannot be converted to an integer:

try {
                value = Integer.parseInt(theValue.trim());
            } catch (NumberFormatException nfe) {
                throw invalidFormat();
            }

But when this situation occurs, it would have been really nice for the caller to be able to inspect the actual NumberFormatException which was thrown as that may say something about what is wrong with the String being passed in. So I would like to have an alternate invalidFormat(Exception cause) (assuming there are situations where there is no exception to use as cause) that captures the NumberFormatException as the thrown exception's cause... Would there be any backward compatibility issues with such a change?


I think would be an acceptable improvement from a compatibility perspective. More information is better.
