There are (at least) a couple options. 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.
