SOLVED Re: Integer formatting [was Re: Woody convertors: dateformatting&decimal formatting]

[Derek Hohls <DH...@csir.co.za>]

Thanks Bruno

I was missing the fact that I need a 
<fd:convertor datatype="integer" type="plain"/>
in BOTH the form model and binding files...

No, since the plain convertor does simply String.valueOf(...), which
is
locale insensitive.

Sorry, no time for that right now, maybe later today.

However, I'm now confused again because you posted that particular XML
snippet and added type="plain" in it (and also because it's not even
well-formed XML). Note that this was not necessary, the type="plain"
needs to be in the binding:

    <!-- jxpath binds to nodes as well as to attributes -->
    <fb:value id="number" path="number/@value">
      <!-- for non-string datatypes, a convertor must be specified.
These are
      the same convertors as can be used in form definitions, but
require an
      extra datatype attribute. Here we use the default convertor for
longs. -->
      <fd:convertor datatype="integer" type="plain"/>
    </fb:value>

Just to be sure, could you confirm you did this also?
