String g = new String("12.95");  // string value retrieved from textbox
float fVal = 10; // value retrieve from database
System.out.println("Text value     : " + g);
System.out.println("Database value : " + fVal);
try {
  float f = Float.valueOf(g.trim()).floatValue();
  fVal *= f;
  System.out.println("Multiplied     : " + fVal);
} catch (NumberFormatException ex1){}
