Ilja, Tere! This is the expected behavior. I'm not sure what version of Struts you're using, but you can check out the source for the (1.x) <bean:write> tag here: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/struts/struts1/trunk/taglib/src/main/java/org/apache/struts/taglib/bean/WriteTag.java?view=markup The relevant part is from lines 330 to 348 (indenting modified): if (formatString != null) { try { format = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(locale); if (formatStrFromResources) { ((DecimalFormat) format).applyLocalizedPattern( formatString); } else { ((DecimalFormat) format).applyPattern(formatString); } } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) { JspException ex = new JspException(messages.getMessage( "write.format", formatString)); TagUtils.getInstance().saveException(pageContext, ex); throw ex; } } There seems to be some discussion of this in the Struts JIRA system: http://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/STR-1865?page=all See Ted Husted's comments. Of course, he's talking about the date (not number) formatting, but it only serves to highlight the distinction between the handling of the two types. Note that if you look at the code immediately following what is quoted here, you'll see that the SimpleDateFormat constructor is *always* passed the locale. I found all this stuff by Googling various combinations of "WriteTag", ".applyLocalizedPattern", and "IllegalArgumentException" Hea õnn! Chris -- Christopher D.
