choices...
the second option might throw a runtime NumberFormatException if the String representation of the long is > Integer.MAX_VALUE, or < Integer.MIN_VALUE. the first option never will, because the numeric cast will never throw an exception. so use the cast if don't care if the number is too big/small for an int. however, if you use the cast, bear in mind that a very big long will possibly become negative as an int:
i would be tempted to
test the long value to see if it fits as an int, before you cast it or use the second option. after that it really depends on performance needs (a cast in the Integer constructor will be quicker than using the String constructor, which calls parseInt with a radix of 10), and code clarity - some folk prefer exception handling for style reasons.
hope this helps
