I use constructs like this:
int position;
try {
position = new
Integer( request.getParameterValues("Position") ).intValue();
} catch( MalformedNumberException mne ) {
// Set value required if non-numeric value was entered
position = -1;
}
Note the Java convention of lowercase for first letter of variable/object
names and upper case first letter for classes.
