formatting money values with bean:write 2007-01-31 - By Adam Lipscombe
Back
Folks
I am using "<bean:write name="myBean" property="myBeanProperty" formatKey=
"global.moneyFormat"/>
global.moneyFormat is defined in the vanilla ApplicationResources.properties
file as "#,##0.00"
To support users in France and Germany there are also ApplicationResources_fr
and
ApplicationResources_de property files. These define the moneyFormat as "# ##0
,00" and "#.##0,00".
This all works fine.
But, when a user accesses the system from a client whose locale uses a non-USA
/UK style currency
format string and the locale is NOT France or Germany (e.g. "#.##0,00" -
Portugal or Brazil) the
system fails with "javax.servlet.ServletException  : Wrong format string: '#,##0
.00'"
I think what is happening is that the system is using the default "global
.moneyFormat" property
String from the vanilla ApplicationResources file (which is what I would expect
).
But when this default pattern is applied it does not match the one expected by
the client-side
locale and so the pattern application fails.
What I thought was supposed to happen was that if an appropriate
ApplicationResources_XX.properties
file could not be found the "global.moneyFormat" property from the vanilla
properties file would be
used and simply applied?
Does anyone know what is supposed to happen?
Is it necessary to have a separate ApplicationResources_XX props file for every
locale that might
access the system? Surely not?
TIA - Adam
