I have Hibernate method which returns me a BigDecimal. I have another API method to which I need to pass that number but it accepts Integer as parameter. I cannot change return types or variable types of both methods.

Now how to convert the BigDecimal into Integer and pass it to second method?

Is there a way out of this?

You would call myBigDecimal.intValueExact() (or just intValue()) and it will even throw an exception if you would lose information. That returns an int but autoboxing takes care of that.
