You can use folowing code to convert -

String strBoolean = "true";

//Do the String to boolean conversion
boolean theValue = Boolean.parseBoolean(strBoolean);
System.out.println(theValue);

Hi xdshi,
My requirement is source column data type is string and data like true,false
but target column data type is boolean.
I converted string to Boolean using this function
"Boolean.parseBoolean(row3.column_name) "

Hi,
If your Input is "true or false", it is totally OK. Maybe the following expression is also a good option

Boolean.valueOf(row3.column_name)

.

Cannot convert "F" to Boolean

Cannot convert "T" to Boolean

Cannot convert "T" to Boolean

Cannot convert "F" to Boolean
