Question

should be an easy one. I originally was gonna do this in javascript but have to do it prior to setting to the form in my handler page. Anyway I need to make these values have 2 decimal places. Ex 219333.5888888 needs to be 219333.58. Is there a trim function or something?

 form.setUnitRepairCost(Double.toString(jobPlanBean.getUnitTotalCost()));   //UNIT REPAIR COST
 form.setUnitMaterialCost(Double.toString(jobPlanBean.getUnitTotalMaterialCost())); //UNIT MATERIAL COST

Answer 1

here is the simple example to format the decimal value

import java.text.*;

public class DecimalPlaces {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        double d = 1.234567;
        DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("#.##");
        System.out.print(df.format(d));
    }

}
