Re: [displaytag-user] Sorting in display tag

[Chaudhary, H. <HCH...@am...>]

Actually, I have resolved this issue using sortProperty. But just out of
curiosity, how will BigDecimal help? As far as I remember, it has fields
for rounding which do not help me in cases like 2.0 --> 2.00 or 2.1 -->
2.10

Use java.math.BigDecimal.

Hi all,

I need to display a table which has columns of strings, dates and
doubles. These need to be sortable. And that's my problem.

=20

For example, the currency column has double values and our DB is such
that these nos could be stuff like 0.25, 9.2, 12355.210E10. But  the nos
need to be formatted as 0.25, 9.20, 12355.22.

I implemented a decorator using DecimalFormat object. The problem is
that it returns a string. My question is how to set the no. of decimal
places of a double or Double object to 2 decimal places. I realize this
is not a displaytag question but other people here have got to have come
across this.

If not, how else can I do this?

I will be glad to provide any more specific info if needed.

Thanks,

HC.
