I want pass the input text value for decimal format. to save the value as decimal format in the database. but I got an error below code. can any one explain the error of the code.



DecimalFormat decimalformat = new DecimalFormat("#.00");
String dp = decimalformat.format(mf.getParameter("pprice"));
product.setPrice((Double.parseDouble(dp)));



java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot format given Object as a
Number at java.text.DecimalFormat.format(DecimalFormat.java:507) at
java.text.Format.format(Format.java:157) at
Servlet.product.save_product.doPost(save_product.java:66)




<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="0.00" name="pprice" onkeypress="return isNumber(event)"/>

  • String is not supported by the format method. It needs to be an instance of Number. See stackoverflow.com/questions/45274167/…

There is a couple of issues here.




  1. As mentioned in the comments, you cannot provide the DecimalFormat.format method with a String value. It needs to be a subtype of Number. This can be solved by parsing the response of mf.getParameter("pprice")) to a double. Like this:
    decimalformat.format(Double.parseDouble(mf.getParameter("pprice")));

  2. There is really no point in doing this at all when you are converting it back to a Double afterwards. You might as well just do
    product.setPrice(Double.parseDouble(mf.getParameter("pprice")));. The formatting is lost anyways.
