Hi Michael,
Look I'm not an expert of this, but I see that NumberFormat has not the
format() method for Objects (it has format(long), format(double)), so you
cannot use it for Number or BigDecimal Instances (in my apps I only use
BigDecimal for operations).
And of course you have to set methods for getting the strings, and not
simply bind it in the numberFormat binding.
Thanks!!!
