I am using JSF’s 2.0 standard convertor tags to format some number output as currency.
But i have a little problem, I dont know how to place the euro symbol at the end of the output.

This is what I did:

<h:outputText value="#{payment.amount}">
    <f:convertNumber type="currency" currencySymbol="€"/>
</h:outputText>

The output I get is:

€15.55

But the desired output is:

15,55€

Can someone give me advice on how to solve this little issue?

    The format is dependent on the locale of the view. The locale can be set in 2 ways.

    1. Generically by the locale attribute of the <f:view> tag:

      <f:view locale="#{bean.locale}">

    2. Specifically by the localeattribute of the <f:convertNumber> tag:

      <f:convertNumber type="currency" currencySymbol="€" locale="#{bean.locale}" />

    It’s unclear what locale you’re targeting, but the use of , as fraction separator and the placement of € after the currency is typical for among others Germany (de-DE), France (fr-FR) and Portugal (pt-PT). So you need to set it as such:

    <f:convertNumber type="currency" currencySymbol="€" locale="pt-PT" />

    It can also be obtained from a java.util.Locale bean property.
