Re: format tag in bean:write - was :RE: Handling Missing Message Key
Thanks Kris,
you've been a great help. Is there any example of default formats for all
the types I might need that I can just copy into the resource bundle?

Re: format tag in bean:write - was :RE: Handling Missing Message Key
Posted by Kris Schneider <kr...@dotech.com>.
Not that I'm aware of. However, you can play around with the various factory
methods of NumberFormat and DateFormat to get what you want:
DecimalFormat decFormat = (DecimalFormat)NumberFormat.getInstance();
System.out.println(decFormat.toPattern());
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = (SimpleDateFormat)DateFormat.getInstance();
System.out.println(dateFormat.toPattern());
Which, for my system, produces:
#,##0.###
