how to format the price of a product specified in Indian Rup

[thiagu.m]

Hai everyone,

I need to format the price of a product specified in Indian Rupees.
The format used here in India is
Rs. 1,00,00,000 = 1 crore = 10 million = 10,000,000 (in the western format)

But when I try with f:convertNumber with type="currency" it always format like this 10,000,000

How can I achieve this?

The code I tried is as follows:

<h:outputText value="#{bank.ammount}">
<f:convertNumber type="currency" currencySymbol="rs" currencyCode="INR" />
</h:outputText>

Can any one help me on this issue?

The easiest way would be to write a custom getter in your domain object like:

String getAmountInRupees();

Or possibly a custom converter.

JRE doesn't support indian currency format. http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4738167

As suggested by Luke write a custom converter. You can find a good tutorial here.
