cast long to integer in tMap

Anonymous — Tue, 17 Sep 2013 05:29:16 GMT

How would I cast a long to an integer in a tMap? (ignoring the possibilities of overflows)
Looking at https://community.talend.com/t5/Design-and-Development/Casting-Short-to-Integer/td-p/94576, I tried this:
new Integer(order_lines.order_id) as my expression, but got an error "The constructor Integer(long) is undefined".
I also looked at https://community.talend.com/t5/Design-and-Development/Int-to-Date/td-p/62918 (string -> int -> date) and https://community.talend.com/t5/Design-and-Development/resolved-cast-type-of-key-from-NVARCHAR-to-INT/td-p/110170 (string -> int), and many Stack Overflow topics
Java is YALTL (Yet Another Language To Learn) for me... Thanks, Sonia.

If it's an Object, you could use mylnteger.intValue().
As you say, ignoring the fact that the value may be too large

Thanks I'll give that a go.
PS I like your "ByExample" site.
