Dániel Dékány commented on FREEMARKER-232:
------------------------------------------
Is that a "c" (as "computer") format at all? The thing you say used to happen
when users (I mean not IT workers) want to see what precision was used for a
reported number. Like if your users are in France, won't they want to see
{{3,1400}} instead of {{{}3.1400{}}}?
> Add configuration option to skip call to stripTrailingZeros on BigDecimal

> Key: FREEMARKER-232
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FREEMARKER-232
> Project: Apache Freemarker
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: engine
> Affects Versions: 2.3.32
> Reporter: Sune Keller
> Priority: Major
>
> When evaluating a template in which the model contains a field for which the
> value is a simple BigDecimal with a given scale and trailing zeros within
> that scale, the trailing zeros are stripped away by the implementation in
> {{{}freemarker.core.CTemplateNumberFormat#formatToPlainText{}}}:
> {code:java}
> } else if (num instanceof BigDecimal) {
> BigDecimal bd = ((BigDecimal) num).stripTrailingZeros();
> int scale = bd.scale();
> if (scale <= 0) {
> // A whole number. Maybe a long ID in a database or other system, and
> for those exponential form is not
> // expected generally, so we avoid that. But then, it becomes too
> easy to write something like
> // 1e1000000000000 and kill the server with a terra byte long
> rendering of the number, so for lengths
> // that realistically aren't ID-s or such, we use exponential format
> after all:
> if (scale <= -100) {
> return bd.toString(); // Will give exponential form for this scale
> }
> return bd.toPlainString(); // Never gives exponential form
> }
> // `db` is not a whole number. Note that `bd` is already normalized to
> not have trailing zeroes.
> return bd.toString(); // Gives exponential form of the absolute value of
> the number is less than 1E-7 {code}
> It would be wonderful to be able to configure whether any trailing zeros are
> stripped or not by way of some configuration option, so as to avoid having to
> copy and re-implement this final non-public class.
