currency format problem on different platform

[Helen Ge <hg...@mamsi.com>]

 
Hello,
Can someone help me with the following problem?
 
I have following JSTL tag used to format currency in a format as
$999,999.99. 
It shows '$1,154.51' correctly on my local webserver which is on window
2000. but it shows differently as '¤1,154.51'  on test server which is on
UNIX.
 
<fmt:formatNumber value="${bill.amount}" 
            type="currency" minFractionDigits="2" 
                        maxFractionDigits="2" />
 
How can I use this tag plantform indepently?
 
Thanks

The problem is with the locale on your Unix box.  You have two choices.
Talk to your system administrator and make sure this is set properly on
your Unix box, or explicitly define the locale in your JSP like so:

      <fmt:setLocale value="en-US" scope="request"/>
      <fmt:formatNumber type="currency">
      <c:out value="${bean.value}"/>
      </fmt:formatNumber>
