> I have a property in my form
>   private Double someValue;
> with get/set methods
> Then I display it on my form
>    <s:textfield name="someValue" cssStyle="width: 100px;"/>
> fill some value:  1234
> and submit the form [Firefox]
> the URL looks like this:
>    /my.action?someValue=1234.0
> and is automatically generated by the browser.
> On the console I get stacktrace and no hint what is going on:
> java.lang.NullPointerException

> If I change URL to one of:
>    /my.action?someValue=1234,0     [colon instead of dot]
>    /my.action?someValue=1234
> then it works.
> IE 6 does not add '.0' if the number is an integer.
> But if I add it by hand:
>    1234.5   [english user using my polish server]
> then if fails.
> Most likely the Double handler initializes itself with the machine specific locale (in Poland colon is the separator for doubles) and it fails.
> In fact this is a highly critical issue if this cannot accept simple numeric value on non english server machine.
> Solution?
> I am not sure if this is not in conflict with some other conditions, but possibly the Double converter should use one specific locale and try to convert input data first to be compatible.
> For example use locale ENGLISH, and try to format the input strings by replacing comma with dot.
