Kester --
Sorry for the delay in responding but I only received your email from
the list today.
Bug 1
-----
I get the value 122.26 which is the correct value for my locale
(en_US). I believe that XalanJ is doing the right thing here and that
xp is wrong. I'll explain why.
I'm guessing that your default Locale is German. You can verify this by
writing a small java program like this:
public class defaultLocale {
public void main(String[] argv) {
System.out.println(java.util.Locale.getDefault());
}
}
Your xsl:decimal-format element is ignored. Here's why:
The xsl:decimal-format element is a named decimal-format since it has a
"name" attribute. Since it is a named decimal-format, it is -not- the
default decimal format. When you invoke the format-number function with
only two arguments, the default decimal-format element is used.
However, you do not have a default decimal format element so Xalan
supplies one for you as if you specified <xsl:decimal-format> with no
attributes.
In the German locale, the period (.) is the grouping-separator
character. That means that the pattern that you specified is
#<<grouping-separator>>##
This pattern has no decimal-separator, only a grouping-separator. It
means: "Show the integer part of the number to format with a grouping
separator of period. The grouping separator is placed every two
characters counting from the right to the left." This is what XalanJ is
doing.
You can verify this by writing a small java program that contains the
lines:
java.text.DecimalFormat myFormat = (java.text.DecimalFormat)
java.text.NumberFormat.getInstance();
System.out.println(myFormat.applyLocalizedPattern("#.##").format(122.2640);
Bug 2
-----
I'll defer to the Xerces folks on this with the caveat that alpha
software is alpha software.
Bug 3
-----
This was a bug and is fixed in the latest CVS version of XalanJ.
HTH,
