You could define a small method which takes a float
value and converts to a String with the proper
precision, and then call this method in a JSP scriplet.

ie.

<%!
public String convertToString( float _value )
{
String stringValue = null;
...
return stringValue;
}
%>

...

<%= convertToString(floatValue) %>

Hi All,
I am using a float variable in a JSP to total some values.  Once totaled
I use the variable on the out display.  When I have two non-zero values
to the right of the decimal it shows fine, i.e 1.53.  When my last digit
is a zero it shows, 1.5, leaving off the trailing zero.  I have looked
and can't seem to find an Object or variable type I can convert this to,
just prior to its display to get the trailing zero to print.

Thanks for any help given.
