Validate an ISBN-13 number using Java

The method below validates an ISBN-13 number. It checks that the number is the correct length and validates the checksum using this formula - it accepts ISBNs with or without hyphens.

     public boolean validateIsbn13( String isbn )
    {
        if ( isbn == null )
        {
            return false;
        }         //remove any hyphens
        isbn = isbn.replaceAll( "-", "" );         //must be a 13 digit ISBN
        if ( isbn.length() != 13 )
        {
            return false;
        }         try
        {
            int tot = 0;
            for ( int i = 0; i < 12; i++ )
            {
                int digit = Integer.parseInt( isbn.substring( i, i + 1 ) );
                tot += (i % 2 == 0) ? digit * 1 : digit * 3;
            }             //checksum must be 0-9. If calculated as 10 then = 0
            int checksum = 10 - (tot % 10);
            if ( checksum == 10 )
            {
                checksum = 0;
            }             return checksum == Integer.parseInt( isbn.substring( 12 ) );
        }
        catch ( NumberFormatException nfe )
        {
            //to catch invalid ISBNs that have non-numeric characters in them
            return false;
        }
    }
