Thanks for your response Kris. This seems a bit hairy... when I use bean:write, the key comes from my application resources file nicely, but with this fmt, I have to use a bundle of some sort. Why is this more complicated than the bean:writes? Earl

One would be to create a property like: numberFormat={0,number,#.##} And then use <fmt:message>: <fmt:message key="numberFormat"> <fmt:param value="${aNumber}"/> </fmt:message> Another would be to leverage the fact that the pattern attribute of <fmt:formatNumber> accepts an EL expression. So, you'd load the pattern and then do: <fmt:formatNumber value="${aNumber}" pattern="${numberPattern}"/> There are all kinds of ways you could load the pattern, but one would be: <fmt:message key="numberPattern" var="numberPattern"/> Quoting Earl Woodman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi, > > I'm trying to move from bean:writes to fmt:formatNumber in my > application, but I'm finding that in order to format a number, I can't > get a formatting pattern from my application resources file - there > doesn't seem to be a key parameter in the fmt:formatNumber tag.
