rich:beanValidator width Double

[simohamed]

Hi,
Im using <rich:benaValidator> ,validation with annotation(org.hibernateValidator) in the managedBean.

<h:inputText value="#{managedBean.number}" id="number" >
<rich:beanValidator />
</h:inputText>

managedBean.java
@NotEmpty(message="not empty.")
@Digits(integerDigits=2,fractionalDigits=2,message="Should be a number ")
private String number;

like this,the validation works fine and i got a specific message that i write: --> Should be a number,

but I want that a field in managedBean.java sould be Double,so when I put it to Double ,I got the following exception:
java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Double cannot be cast to java.lang.String
at org.hibernate.validator.NotEmptyValidator.isValid(NotEmptyValidator.java:36)
at org.hibernate.validator.ClassValidator.getPotentialInvalidValues(ClassValidator.java:478)
