Object to Int casting

[nn12]

In my java page I have

request.setAttribute("intLevel", intLevel); // intLevel is set as an Integer

and I am retrieving it in my jsp page using

int level = (int)request.getAttribute("intLevel");

I get a cast class exception, saying Object cannot be casted into Integer. Can you please help.

if it is returning an Integer, then can you just leave off the cast and let it auto-unbox to an int? Either that or call intValue() on the returned Integer object?

I suppose that should work

int level=Integer.parseInt(request.getAttribute("intLevel").toString);

Thanks guys, I will try those 2 options

Edit: serjant's recommendation is much better than mine. Go with it.
