Java NumberFormatException with a valid number/string

Hi there,

I have a method like the following:

Quote:

public long getAsLong(String number)
{
return new Long(number).longValue();
}

My problem is that I get an exception such as the following:

Quote:

java.lang.FormatException For input string: "1223242177912"

As you can see the string that is parsed is indeed a valid long number. Does anybody know why it results to a problem. Any ideas how to overcome it?

Thank you.

This works for me. Is that error pasted without any editing? What JVM and version are you using? What is the code that calls getAsLong?
