Re: Fmt:formatNumber and Euro symbol

[Serge Knystautas]

The JSTL doesn't supporting converting the euro character to the 
HTML-safe version (converting it to € as you do in your 
workaround).  I don't know if changing any encoding would really help 
since I think ultimately you *want* € to be what's sent.

I would suggest you send your issue to the spec to be considered for a 
future JSTL version.  For now you'll have to use your workaround.

Hi

I've tried to format a price in euros with
<fmt:formatNumber value="${product.price}" type="currency"
currencyCode="EUR"/>
But instead of the euro symbol I get a question mark (?)
I've tried to set the encoding ISO-8859-15 in many places
- jsp page
- jsp layout page
- controller
But none of them worked. Maybe I did it wrong, maybe that's not the
solution?
The workaround I had to wrote to get what I expected was:
<fmt:formatNumber value="${product.price}" minFractionDigits="2"/> &euro;
And this worked, but I think there shoould be a better solution
Please help.
