To fix it I had to overwrite the validator "validatePourcentageEstime(Object o)" and set the scale of the BigDecimal received.
I tought that my formatter was doing enough, defined like so:
DecimalFormat formatPourcent = formatPourcent = new DecimalFormat("0.0");
        formatPourcent.setMinimumFractionDigits(2);
        formatPourcent.setMultiplier(100);
        formatPourcent.setMaximumFractionDigits(4);

I'm sure I miss something and doesn't need to overwrite validatePourcentageEstime, how do you do ?

Ah ha!  That formatter is NOT doing what you think it is:

From the JavaDocs:
Currently, the only classes that parse returns are Long and Double, but callers should not rely on this.

It is returning a Double and KVC (or EOF?) is creating from that. You either need to to set the scale in the validate method, or create a BigDecimalFormat that does the right thing. So that explains why you were getting the SQL error.


Is it changed in java 1.6 ? because in 1.5:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/text/DecimalFormat.html#parse(java.lang.String,%20java.text.ParsePosition)
in the parse definition we have:
• If isParseBigDecimal() is true, values are returned as BigDecimal objects. The values are the ones constructed by BigDecimal.BigDecimal(String) for corresponding strings in locale- independent format. The special cases negative and positive infinity and NaN are returned as Double instances holding the values of the corresponding Double constants.

I'll first try to add:
        formatPourcent.setParseBigDecimal(true);
and if it doesn't work, I'll keep the validate method.

Thanks again for the pointer !
