Hi Mario,
I would think the best place would be in resource files to contain the
format to use, and put specific code in ActionForm beans.
As messages in resource files are already processed by
java.text.MessageFormat, you don't need a special tag to display a localized
currency, for instance:
In your English property file, write
amount.value=The amount is {0, number, currency}
and use it with
<struts:message key="amount.value" arg0="123.45" />
to display
The amount is $123.45
when the user use an English locale.
Your ActionForm bean can contain the code to parse locale dependant formats,
based on the user locale, and pass it to your business objects in an
independant format (converting the currencies values to DM, for instance).
