Grails excel-import plugin Numbers populated as real with exponent - grails

Question

I am trying to import a ms-excel 2007 sheet using excel-import plugin. It was simple to integrate with my project and I found it working as expected until I noticed that the number values in the cells are populated as real numbers with exponent.
For example if the cell contains value 9062831150099 -(populated as)->9.062831150099E12 i.e.
A |
_____________________
Registration Number |
____________________
9062831150099
Is populated as: [RegNum:9.062831150099E12]
Anyone could suggest me how I can change this representation back to its original format keeping its type as number?

Answer 1

Missed it at the first attempt but I figured out how to to achieve it:
When invoking the key methods (the ones that process cellMap and columnMaps) for example List bookParamsList = excelImportService.columns(workbook, CONFIG_BOOK_COLUMN_MAP) or Map bookParams = excelImportService.cells(workbook, CONFIG_BOOK_CELL_MAP )
There is also ability to pass in configuration information, i.e. to specify what to do if a cell is empty (i.e. to provide a default value), to make sure a cell is of expected type, etc.
So in my case I created a configuration parameter Map of properties of the object and passed it to the above methods. i.e.
Class UploadExcelDataController {
def excelImportService
static Map CONFIG_BOOK_COLUMN_MAP = [
sheet:'Sheet1',
startRow: 2,
columnMap: [
'A':'registrationNumber',
'B':'title',
'C':'author',
'D':'numSold',
]
]
static Map configBookPropertyMap = [
registrationNumber: ([expectedType: ExpectedPropertyType.IntType, defaultValue:0])
]
def uploadFile(){
...
List bookParamsList = excelImportService.columns(workbook, CONFIG_BOOK_COLUMN_MAP,configBookPropertyMap )
...
}
}
