NumberFormatException on inputTextArea?
I am having a strange problem I am not sure how to fix, possibly a customer converter?
I have an inputTextArea which I allow the user to input any text, later to be parsed, the text can contain any characters necessarily:
<!-- Input the parameters for the Job -->
<tr>
<td width="20%" align="right" id="header-label">
Job Parameters:
</td>
<td width="80%" align="left">
<h:inputTextarea
rows="25" cols="60"
value="#{createPluginJob.parameterText}"/>
</td>
</tr>
The EJB looks like this:
@Name("createPluginJob")
@Stateless
public class CreatePluginJobBean implements CreatePluginJob {
...
private String parameterText;
public String getParameterText() {return parameterText;}
public void setParameterText(String parameterText) {this.parameterText = parameterText;}
...
public String create() {
PluginCommand networkCommand = new PluginCommand();
networkCommand.setFqClassName(fqcn);
StringReader stringReader = new StringReader(parameterText.trim());
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(stringReader);
String line = null;
try {
log.info("Parsing parameterText: \n" + parameterText); //NumberFormatException happening here
while((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
log.info("extracted line: " + line);
networkCommand.getParameters().put(StringUtils.substringBefore(line, "="), StringUtils.substringAfter(line, "="));
}
} catch(IOException e) {
log.error(e.getMessage());
}
log.info("Extracted parameters: " + networkCommand.getParameters());
job.setNetworkCommand(networkCommand.buildCommand());
em.persist(job);
FacesMessages.instance().add("Successfully created job");
return "createPluginJob";
}
}
It seems as though the NumberFormatException is happening the first time I try to do anything with the parameterText value. The exception is as follows:

And the input I was providing
nmapOptions=#HOST# -T5 -O -oX #HOST#_#TIME#.xml HOST=localhost TIME=09-27-2006
So it seems as though something is choking on the pound signs or new lines, I'm not sure which. Is there anyway to circumvent this problem?
