(1) Use BigDecimal for all financial currency amounts
(2) Write your own Custom Tag to print out monetary data.
It is easy to subclass org.apache.struts.taglib.bean.WriteTag
to provide a custom tag similar to
<acme:numberFormat format="#,###.00(#,###.00)" name="obj" property="moneyAttr" />

Subject: RE: Bean Bug?
I'd be interested in how you can use ints for decimal numbers. The "right"
way is to use BIG_DECIMAL, but I have to use the session bean method given
me for my bean data. But this still does not address the issue of the
<bean:write> behavior.

First Principle of Economics: ever use float or double for money. Use
ints. Or, for serious money, longs. 'The real problem is not the "output"
but the whole idea.
