Minilang Long to String conversion
Hi All,
I have been batting to save a Long value to another field type="String" .
See the syntax below.
<set field="quoteId" value="${someEntity.lastSeqId}"/>
someEntity.lastSeqId is of type Long and gets saved in entity of field type
numeric. So we know it is long and gets saved without trouble.
Now the problem :
For a someEntity.lastSeqId value of say 1000010 the value assigned to
quoteId becomes 1,00,010 i.e comma separated. Unable to figure out how to
get rid of this string formatting. Any suggestions? I just need to have the
same number as string without the comma separator.
Thanks in advance
Ray

Well I agree to what Ankush's said you could have said
<set field="quoteId" from-field="someEntity.lastSeqId" type="Long"/>
That also can solve it the 'Minilang' Way , also in cases when you're dealing with custom object types,
you can call your specific java code and ask it to convert and return the appropriate type.
Regards
Prince

By the way, I am working on a mini-language grammar overhaul that I
hope will clear up some of these odd quirks in the language.

Look this :
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBTECH/Unified+Expression+Language+%28JSR-245%29+in+OFBiz
You can try :
<set field="quoteId" value="${str:toString(someEntity.lastSeqId)}"/>

I'm not really sure how come that type='Long' won't work , I myself have
implemented and made use of that
Well using Long as type of course won't put in the comma. However, the whole
point was to convert to String without the comma. So guess what you saw is
right, but that is different from what I was trying to do Long to String and
not Long to Long. The solution suggested by Nicolas worked, guess because it
bypassed the default formatting by converting to string directly or at least
that is what I got out of it so far.

attribute several times, about the Map processor, even I don't like that one.

Hello ,
For this case, i think you can use type attribute.
