[Lift] Re: MappedDecimal question

[Andrew Scherpbier]

Thanks Derek! I hadn't noticed the "bigDecimal" member of scala.BigDecimal.  (I'm still so used to looking for explicit getter methods!) I now have my code do this:     Text(String.format("$%,.2f", item.amount.bigDecimal)) instead of my old     Text(item.amount.toString) --Andrew Derek Chen-Becker wrote: The BigDecimal value of a MappedDecimal field is Scala's BigDecimal, which itself wraps the Java BigDecimal. At the very least you can use java.text.DecimalFormat to format the underlying java.math.BigDecimal. Let me know if you have any further questions.

I'm using a MappedDecimal and I would to format its value.  I've tried using java.lang.String.format() but it doesn't know what a scala.BigDecimal is...  Help!
