Question

I have a number with more than 20 digits that I have to format it with comma separator. I have to read the value from http session.
I used this kind:

<s:property value="%{getText('{0,number,#,###.00}',{<%=hsession.getAttribute("calculated_forfeit") %>})}" /> 

but it does not work and the error is:
equal symbol expected
!!!!!!!!!
getText format works for a variable but I’m not sure about the value from http session.
The technology is struts2.

please help

Answer 1

You have to put simple quotes in the scriptlet:

 <s:property value="%{getText('{0,number,#,###.00}',{<%=hsession.getAttribute('calculated_forfeit') %>})}" /> 

Anyway, struts2 provides a simple way to access to session attributes with #session variable.

<s:property value="%{getText('{0,number,#,###.00}',{#session.calculated_forfeit})}" />
