I didn't see a response to this in java, so here it goes:
---
//TO convert from String to int:
String someNumber="987";
int foo;

try {
    foo = (new Integer(someNumber)).intValue();
} catch (NumberFormatException nfe) {
    // ouch.  Not a properly formatted integer. 
} 

   
// foo now = 987;

// to convert from Character to int:
char c= '9';
foo = (new Character(c)).getNumericValue();

if (foo == -2) {
	// character has no non-negative int value
} else if (foo == -1) {
	// character has no int value
} else {
	// you're good to go, foo = 9, in this case.
}

Hope this helps.
