Question

After reading a few questions on what Java data type to use for currency/money, I have decided to use the int/long method, where you store the value of the currency/money as its lowest unit (such as cents).

Does this apply to storing the data as well (in XML)?

The first thing that comes to my mind is no, because it will just be “parsed” into an XML decimal format when storing the data, and “parsed” back again when I read the data.

Any suggestions are welcome, as I am new to this.

Answer 1

i used this

<xsd:simpleType name="money">
      <xsd:restriction base="xsd:decimal">
         <xsd:fractionDigits value="2"/>
      </xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>
