Hi It's actually very simple. <bean:write name="address" property="telephoneno" format="###-###-#####"/> A better solution would be to create a ressource bundle - lets say TelephoneFormatResources.properties and create an entry in that file- something like format1=###-###-####
The use the bundle instead <bean:write name="address" property="telephoneno" bundle="TelephoneFormatResources" formatKey="###-###-#####"/> It will then take the format from the bundle instead of the jsp page directly. The advantage is that if you change the format, then you just have to change it one place, instead of changing the format in all jsp pages!

I want to display the the telephone number from it. The below mentioned is the code. But from the address class we will retrieve it as 10 digit string. <bean:write name="address" property="telephoneno"/> For example if 9845612345 is the number I want to display it as follows. 984-561-2345 Is there any idea of how to format the string in this fashion Regards, Krishna Mohan R --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
