Niall Pemberton commented on BEANUTILS-385:
-------------------------------------------

You can create and register your own integer converter that parses decimals - 
except pass "true" to the super constructor to parse decimals

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/beanutils/trunk/src/main/java/org/apache/commons/beanutils/converters/IntegerConverter.java

> Integer NumberConverter can't handle strings that contain decimals

> We all know that Integers are not supposed to have decimals. 
> However, incoming Strings that need to be converted to Integers may not adher 
> to this given. You might get a String such as 120,00 and need to convert that 
> to 120. The pattern matcher for NumberConverter handles string matching. So, 
> if you provide a pattern such as #,##0.00 with a german locale, parsing this 
> String works just fine.
> However, even though the number is successfully parsed, an error is thrown 
> because pos.getIndex() != value.length(). 
> This may be intentional in order to prevent a decimal 120,50 be converted to 
> something else without warning.
> But what about the other case where you just want the conversion done and 
> precision is irrelevant? Providing a pattern such as #,##0 doesn't work 
> either. 
> I mean *this* is the kind of thing a converter should help you with in stead 
> of block you from
