s:iterator question

[aaron walker]

I am using an s:iterator tag to display information from a data base. It is only for display, but I need it to show formatted as currency. Is there a way to do this on the jsp? Or is it better just to format it on the database? I would need the coverageAmount to show as a formatted number.

Here is my iterator:

 
<s:iterator value="premiumsList" status="stat">
	<tr class="<s:if test="#stat.odd == true">odd</s:if><s:else>even</s:else>">
	      <td><s:property value="coverageAmount"/></td>
	      <td><s:property value="individualCoverageCost"/></td>
	      <td><s:property value="familyCoverageCost"/></td>
	</tr>
</s:iterator>

Thanks in advance

Its easy, you can found it on Struts pages.

In package.properties you would have

format.number = {0,number,#0.0##}

And your code would look like this

<s:iterator value="premiumsList" status="stat">  
     <tr class="<s:if test="#stat.odd == true">odd</s:if><s:else>even</s:else>">  
           <td><s:property value="%{getText('format.number',{coverageAmount})}"/></td>  
           <td><s:property value="individualCoverageCost"/></td>  
           <td><s:property value="familyCoverageCost"/></td>  
     </tr>  
 </s:iterator>

Btw on linked page is misstake in last example - formated value is in single quotes.

Currency can be formatted using the <s:text> tag:
