Hi,
I have some input fields which should accept only numbers with 2 decimals. My question is: Which is better to use - BigDecimal or Double? I know that for financial application it is better to use BigDecimal types for the computation. I have tried both in my application and I will explain what happens: When I use Double, the following line of code works: <f:convertNumber pattern="###,###,###,##0.00" minIntegerDigits="1" maxIntegerDigits="12" maxFractionDigits="2" /> When I use BigDecimal I must use the old converter: <s:convertNumber pattern="###,###,###,##0.00" minIntegerDigits="1" maxIntegerDigits="12" maxFractionDigits="2" />, but then the input field react strange. I try to insert one number and when I insert a comma, the comma is shown before number. If I continue inserting the decimals, the entire number is shown correctly. Another problem of mine is the fact that before I have used in my application int and double. As i said before the convertNumber works for double, but it doesn't work for int. Which is the best approach? BigDecimal or double? BigDecimal or Number or int? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/BigDecimal-or-Double-tp23292320p23292320.html Sent from the MyFaces - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
