Ruslan Sibgatullin commented on LANG-1404:
------------------------------------------
Yep, the case is as following:
Integer is coming from the 3rd party system and it can be either null, 0 or 1.
1 is true, null/0 is false.
It's quite common in ad tech industry to send Integers or nothing (null) as
booleans.
I cannot see why it should be done via Range class to be honest.
> BooleanUtils.toBoolean(Integer) method added

> Key: LANG-1404
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1404
> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: lang.*
> Reporter: Ruslan Sibgatullin
> Priority: Minor
>
> Right now to convert an Integer to boolean there is either a null check
> needed:
> {{final Integer value = 1;}}
> {{if (value != null) {}}
> {{ if(BooleanUtils.toBoolean(value)) {}}
> {{ // some code}}
> }
> {{}}}
> or two methods call:
>
> {{final Integer value = 1;}}
> {{final Boolean b = BooleanUtils.toBooleanObject(value);}}
> {{if (BooleanUtils.toBoolean(b)) {}}
> {{ // some code}}
> {{}}}
> Some code-sugar is added with the help of method that accepts Integer and
> returns boolean:
> {{final Integer value = 1;}}
> {{if (BooleanUtils.toBoolean(value)) {}}
> // some code
> {{}}}
