Ah, I guess I misunderstood your previous post. Maybe this will help you along?
<snip> Use the formatKey attribute if you want to pull it from message resources. Have a look at java.text.DecimalFormat for an explanation of formatting patterns for decimal numbers. </snip> The above code came from http://www.junlu.com/msg/45833.html. I didn't even know that this was possible. Lets see if I need it some day! Andreas -----Ursprungliche Nachricht----- Von: Kumar M [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 11.

If you look at the following article from Ted Husted: http://www.jguru.com/faq/view.jsp?EID=915891 From the article: "ordering.authorized.range.staff=Staff is only authorized to requisition supplies that cost less than ${0,number} USD" would convert argument 0 to the number format. Isn't that nice! I was wondering if there is anyway we could extend this for things like ssn. I am looking at the MessageFormat class and all but was wondering if some one has come across this already. Thanks!
