Hiya
I would also consider writing some custom tags to format numbers and dates.
Subclass the Struts' own bean WriteTag <bean:write>. It is pretty easy
to check for a java.lang.Number or java.lang.String, which you can attempt
to parse into a double.
The only problem is a creating large numbers of
java.text.NumberFormat or java.text.DecimalFormat objects.
They are expensive to create and garbage collect.
I would suggest you put a NUMBER_FORMAT_KEY in the session scope
or write the tags to reuse a global Format object.
Unfortunate I cant give you my tags, but here is a handy project
for someone to write for Struts 1.1!!!

Subject: Re: Formatting Dates, Integers...
Pesonally, I recommend doing such things in the ActionForm. You can do
them in the page, but that means modifying the page, and placing what is
really business logic in the presentation tier. While it seems we are
talking about how data "looks", formatting it this way or that is really
a business requirement. The part about stuffing the formatted string
into HTML is the presentation tier. The J2EE blueprints call these
helper beans or methods.
