format tag in bean:write - was :RE: Handling Missing Message Key
Ah, ha! I am an idiot. I think this has to do with the format tag in
bean:write. Could someone tell me how to set this up?
I think you can put the formats into the application properties file,
correct?
Does someone have an example of what to put in?
thanks,
Brian

Re: format tag in bean:write - was :RE: Handling Missing Message Key
Posted by Kris Schneider <kr...@dotech.com>.
Use the formatKey attribute if you want to pull it from message resources. Have
a look at java.text.DecimalFormat for an explanation of formatting patterns for
decimal numbers.
