The jstl eqivalent of bean:message allows you to pass arguments via the tag
body, so you can use another tag inside the body:
<fmt:message key="cart.amount">
<fmt:param>
<fmt:formatNumber value="${total}"
type="CURRENCY"/>
</fmt:param>
</fmt:message>

Subject: bean:message MessageFormat and number formating
Hi,
I've recently switch to a resource.properties file to externalize all
text from jsp (in the perspective of translation of the site)
The site is a classic e-commerce web site, so I dsiplay a Cart and the
amount of the products in the custumer's cart.
In my old jsp I wrote :
<fmt:formatNumber value="${total}" type="CURRENCY"/>
in order to format the price in a sentence like "Total amount $ 150."
Now I'm writting
cart.amount=Total amount {0}.
in the resource.properties.
And in the JSP :
<bean-el:message key="cart.amount" arg0="${user.amount}"/>
finally I loose the price formatting porvided by the <fmt:formatNumber >
tag.
Is there a way to use a MessageFormat and have the parameters formatted
like <fmt:formatNumber > do ?
Thanks for all suggestions,
Carl
