We are attempting to define a phone.key format of ### - ### - #### (white space inserted to see hyphens) for use with <bean:write name="blah" property="blahblah" formatKey="phone.key" /> We are using formats like dollar.format=$###,###,##0.00 decimal.format=###,###,##0.00 successfully but for some reason the phone.key isn't working. Any clues? Mark
