So is the answser to create global Format object and synchronize access? -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Martin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 04, 2002 5:56 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: Formatting Dates, Integers...
Be very careful about using DateFormatter's that way. I learned a hard lesson in a previous project that DateFormater (and even just the format method) is not thread safe.

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!!! -- Peter Pilgrim ++44 (0)207-545-9923 ............................................

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. -- This e-mail may contain confidential and/or privileged information.
