IntegerItem, how to use it?

[Catorcio]

SmartGWT 2.2

In a Search form I need to use a text box to enter/display an integer value (not related to any field of the underlying data source). I thought to use an IntegerItem but from the documentation I do not see any method to retrieve its content as a Java int (or Integer), which I would expect. So I need to convert its content with

 Integer.parseInt(intItem.getValue().toString()).

Do I miss anything? What is IntegerItem intended for?

Kind regards.

We'll add a convenience IntergerItem.getValueAsInteger() API but you should also be able to to (Integer) intItem.getValue().

Added IntergerItem.getValueAsInteger() to SVN.
