Is there any way to explicitly set the grouping symbol for the <fmt:formatNumber/> tag to use? Apparently, the pattern it accepts won't let you use anything but a comma (,) as the grouping separator. This is also true of the underlying DecimalFormat class. It does convert the comma in the pattern to the Locale dependent grouping symbol, but there is nothing on the Locale itself to override the the grouping symbol.
There doesn't seem to be anyway to specify an alternate implementation of NumberFormat, DecimalFormat, or DecimalFormatSymbols that would allow the desired behavior with the JSTL LocalizationContext. NumberFormat appears to contain a mapping between Locales and grouping symbols, the Locale itself has not information about grouping symbols. Does anyone have any suggestions outside of implementing our own custom tag to do number formatting that mimics <fmt:formatNumber/> in everyway plus allowing us to specify a custom DecimalFormatSymbol sub-class?
