RE: Fmt:formatNumber, Euro symbol and decimals

[Carlos Sanchez <ap...@cousas.net>]

<fmt:formatNumber value="${product.price}" minFractionDigits="2"
currencySymbol="&euro;" type="currency"/>
works almost the same that my approach and they are the only ways to show an
euro amount in every locale, because 

This formats the number in the current locale currency (not desired)
<fmt:formatNumber value="${product.price}" type="currency"/>


These two works, but in locales where the currency has no decimals (Japan
for example) it will show only the integer part (not desired again)

<fmt:formatNumber value="${product.price}" type="currency"
currencySymbol="&euro;"/>

<fmt:formatNumber value="${product.price}" type="currency"
currencySymbol="€"/>


This show a "?" in ES locale and "EUR" in US locale
This is a strange thing, it doesn't show the decimal part in locales where
the currency has no decimals !!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe this is a bug?

<fmt:formatNumber value="${product.price}" type="currency"
currencyCode="EUR"/>
