                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRINIDAD-1489
             Project: MyFaces Trinidad
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Gabrielle Crawford


When attribute data type is BigDecimal and <af:convertNumber> is used Trin 
treats the attribute as if the attribute value is changed even though the 
attribute value has not been changed.

Under the covers the numberConverter is using the java decimalFormat class, and 
things can get a little funny when you use bigdecimal, because bigdecimal 
remembers formatting information like scale. So 2.0 is not equal to 2.00 in 
bigdecimal.

We can add logic to UIXEditableValueHolder that if .equals fails and if the 
values are the same type and implement comparable we should then check 
compareTo.

There are 2 workarounds for now.

1] apply the pattern to the bigdecimal in the getter, so in the salary
example code above return newSal instead of sal.

2] check compareTo in the setter, and don't set if you get 0.
