Cannot convert string to long

Question

Whenever the getAsString function is called of timeConverter I am getting number format exception at line long timeMillis=Long.parseLong(time); I want to convert the given string to long.

1) Here is my timeConverter class

package com.converter;

import javax.faces.component.UIComponent;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
import javax.faces.convert.Converter;
import javax.faces.convert.ConverterException;

public class TimeConverter implements Converter {

    @Override
    public Object getAsObject(FacesContext arg0, UIComponent arg1, String arg2) {
        return arg2;
    }

    @Override
    public String getAsString(FacesContext context, UIComponent component,
            Object value) {
        System.out.println("inside getAsString");
        String time=value.toString();

        long timeMillis=Long.parseLong(time);
        long currentTime=System.currentTimeMillis();
        long eclapseTime=timeMillis-currentTime;
        long secs=eclapseTime/1000;
        long days=secs/(60*60*24);
        long hours=(secs%(60*60*24))/60*60;
        long mins=(secs%(60*60*24)%(60*60))/60;
        long secs2=(secs%(60*60*24)%(60*60)%(60));
        StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
        sb.append(days).append("days").append(hours).append("hours").append(mins).append("mins").append(secs2).append("secs");
        String object = sb.toString();
        return object;

    }

}

2) Here is stackstrace that I am getting.

Answer 1

You're getting this exception:

java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "1348756490255"
...
  java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Integer.java:495)

Which means it's too long for integer. Max value for Integer is 2 147 483 647, so it fails on 134 875 649 025, which makes sense.

However, you're claiming that you're having the problem with this code:

long timeMillis=Long.parseLong(time);

which clearly isn't true, as per stack trace. Conclusion is that you're running a different code than you think you're running - parsing the string as long should work without issues. Long has a max value of 9 223 372 036 854 775 807 which is a lot more than you need.
