Still using Cocoon 2.1....
I need to format the "thousands" values in form's data value widget.
If I have:
<fd:datatype base="double">
<fd:convertor type="formatting">
<fd:patterns>
<fd:pattern>###,###,###.###</fd:pattern>
</fd:patterns>
</fd:convertor>
</fd:datatype>
This works as expected eg. 5678901 is shown 5,678,901
The client would prefer space-separated values, but
<fd:datatype base="double">
<fd:convertor type="formatting">
<fd:patterns>
<fd:pattern>### ### ###.###</fd:pattern>
</fd:patterns>
</fd:convertor>
</fd:datatype>
does not work - 5678901 stays 5678901
The decimal format doc says:
"The prefixes, suffixes, and various symbols used for infinity, digits,
thousands separators, decimal separators, etc. may be set to
arbitrary values, and they will appear properly during formatting.
However, care must be taken that the symbols and strings do not
conflict, or parsing will be unreliable."

Does this mean that spaces are a "conflicting symbol" -
is there any way of getting this to work??
Thanks
Derek
