NPE caused by integer fields which have an <fd:initial-value> but no locale 
attribute
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: COCOON-1844
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COCOON-1844
     Project: Cocoon
        Type: Bug

  Components: Blocks: Forms  
    Versions: 2.1.9    
    Reporter: Dewi Roberts
    Priority: Minor
 Attachments: FormattingDecimalConvertor.java.diff

A NullPointerException is thrown when setting an initial value to a field of 
integer datatype without also specifying a locale, but the documentation states 
that the locale attribute is optional.  The problem is caused when 
NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(locale) is passed null instead of using the 
NumberFormat.getNumberInstance() method in FormattingDecimalConvertor.

This problem might also affect number, currency and percent datatypes.
