Re: How format a string when it is Displayed?
Oops, I missed that you are using Struts 1. I believe that you can use the format attribute of the bean:write tag: http://struts.apache.org/1.1/userGuide/struts-bean.html#write to specify a format string as described on: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/text/MessageFormat.html Josh On 8/30/07, vamsi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I think we can't format a String using bean:write previously I searched for this but I didn't found any solution as it is not supporting any formatting for Strings. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: user@struts.apache.org Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2007 11:35 PM Subject: How format a string when it is Displayed? Hi, I need help in formatting a String, when it is displayed. Here is what i am doing: bean:write name=someObject property=exampleSSN/ It is stored asa continous unformatted String an hence displayed as 'X'. Now, I want my social security number to be displayed as (XXX) - XX - . How can i acheive this in Struts, without actually using my own custom Tag libraries which do this formatting for me.

Re: How format a string when it is Displayed?
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/text will do what you need. Take look at the example with resource property format.money and note the link to http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/text/MessageFormat.html which has the info you need to build a format pattern. You could also do the same thing with JSTL if you prefer: http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/jstl/1.1/docs/tlddocs/fmt/tld-summary.html Josh On 8/29/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I need help in formatting a String, when it is displayed.

I think we can't format a String using bean:write previously I searched for this but I didn't found any solution as it is not supporting any formatting for Strings. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: user@struts.apache.org Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2007 11:35 PM Subject: How format a string when it is Displayed?
