the validator framework does not take locale into account for validating floats

           Summary: the validator framework does not take locale into
                    account for validating floats
           Product: Struts
           Version: 1.1 Final
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Validator Framework
        AssignedTo: struts-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: stanpinte@fastmail.fm


the validator framework does not take locale into account for validating floats

and it is normal: 


    /**
     * Checks if the value can safely be converted to a float primitive.
     *
     * @param value The value validation is being performed on.
     */
    public static Float formatFloat(String value) {
        if (value == null) {
            return null;
        }
        try {
            return new Float(value);
        } catch(NumberFormatException e) {
            return null;
        }
    }

this piece of code is a snippet from the Validator GenericTypeValidator class, 
which doesn't use the locale. --> when users use a different locale than the 
server default locale, it fails:

If I use a "fr" locale, and enters "2,6", it is not recognized as a float, and 
an exception is thrown.
