Converting int to String

I'm having trouble converting an integer array to a String. The current code is something like this:

import java.lang.*;

class Do_Stuff{
private int intPoints[];

public String Convert_To_String
{
String strOutput;

for (intCount = 0; intCount < 500;intCount++)
{
strOutput = strOutput + toString(intPoints[intCount]) + " "
}
}
}

When compiled, a warning that the wrong number of arguments are supplied to the toString function.

Any ideas?

just say

class Do_Stuff{
private int intPoints[];
public String Convert_To_String
{
String strOutput;
for (intCount = 0; intCount < 500;intCount++)
{
strOutput = strOutput + (new Integer(intCount) ).toString()+ " ";
}
}
}

There is also a static method in Integer you can use:

public static String toString(int i);

so this line:

strOutput = strOutput + (new Integer(intCount[intcount])).toString()+ " ";

would become:

strOutput = strOutput + Integer.toString(intCount[intcount])+" ";

Works great, but is a String the right type to use if I were to pass the output to a textbox on a web page?
