Here is my issue, I have a panelGrid that looks like this: <h:panelGrid columnClasses="typicalCell, alignRight" styleClass="accountDetails" border="0" columns="2"> <f:facet name="header"> <h:outputText value="#{msg.poDescTitle}" /> </f:facet> <h:outputText value="#{msg.poShortDesc}" /> <h:outputText value="#{visitInfo.purchaseOrder.shortDescription}" /> <h:outputText value="#{msg.poDesc}"></h:outputText> <h:outputText value="#{visitInfo.purchaseOrder.description}"></h:outputText> </h:panelGrid>
This outputs correctly for most dataset, but I am hitting a specfic dataset where "visitInfo.purchaseOrder.shortDescription" has a line like this: 24 - xxxxxxxxxxxxxx @ $6.18 EA TOTAL $8.32 In my backing bean the shortDescription is a String, but for some reason I am getting the following error: Exception while calling encodeEnd on component : {Component-Path : [Class: org.ajax4jsf.component.AjaxViewRoot,ViewId: /protected/podetails.jsp][Class: javax.faces.component.html.HtmlDataTable,Id: j_id_jsp_189730757_32][Class: javax.faces.component.UIColumn,Id: column3][Class: javax.faces.component.html.HtmlOutputFormat,Id: j_id_jsp_189730757_42]} Caused by: java.lang.NumberFormatException - For input string: "$6.18 EA" I am not using a f:convertNumber or anything like that so I don't know why my string is being converted to a number. Any help would be appreciated, I am using myfaces 1.2. Thanks, Chuck
