bean:message format ssn
Hi all,
I am wondering if there is an easy way to format the ssnn. What I have
is a String '123456789' but the users would like to see '123-45-6789'.
Is there an easy way of doing this using bean:write or bean:message or
any other tag?
Thanks!!

Yup, formatKey is pretty handy. We use it to format dates. But
<bean:write> tag seems to do this only when converting from non-String
data type to String datatype. What I have is a String '123456789'. One
solution is to probably convert this to Integer and that will force it
to use a number formatter.
But <bean:message> seems to convert String to String too. And therefore
the curiosity!
Thanks!

Formatting in message resources (was: bean:message format ssn)
Posted by Hubert Rabago <ja...@yahoo.com>.
Yes, the default MessageResources implementation uses the Java Format object,
so in some of my messages, I have:
my.msg.key=No was found for {0,date,yyyyMM}
Cool, ain't it? Not sure a lot of people know about it. So you won't have
to mess with source code when all you wanna do is change data formatting.
Problem is, the JSP tags can only accept string values, so my particular
example (date formatting) only works on messages created in my Action
objects, not in my JSPs. I'm pretty sure it'll work for Strings, though.

Ah, I guess I misunderstood your previous post. Maybe this will help you
along?
<snip>
Use the formatKey attribute if you want to pull it from message resources.
Have
a look at java.text.DecimalFormat for an explanation of formatting patterns
for
decimal numbers.

The above code came from http://www.junlu.com/msg/45833.html. I didn't even

There seems to be a way to format using <bean:message>. If you look at
the following article from Ted Husted:

From the article:

would convert argument 0 to the number format. Isn't that nice!
I was wondering if there is anyway we could extend this for things like

AW: bean:message format ssn
Posted by Andreas Solarik <a....@gesig.at>.
Hi Kumar,
when you look at the documentation for bean:write
(http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/struts-bean.html#write) you can
find that it allows formating. Bean:message looks like it does not support
this feature - which kind of makes sense when you consider what its used for
(lookup of strings in the resources -> supporting parameterized
replacement).
The format of the format string is something like
<snip>
- <tr>
- <td><%= pageContext.getAttribute("test7.value") %></td>
- <td>[#,000.00] <bean:write name="test7.value"
format="#,000.00"/></td>
- <td>[<bean:message key="format.pattern" />] <bean:write
name="test7.value"
formatKey="format.pattern"/></td>
- </tr>
</snip>
The preceeding code came from
