Hibernate version:

hibernate 3.0

Hallo HTechies,

We have a problem of entering float values in German format. (i.e comma is used inplace of dot or point ex: 12,34 means 12.34). We are using hibernate as ORM with postgresql database, and JSF(Myfaces),our insertion of float numbers in German style, ends with the message "Conversion error". even used locale property of <x:inputText> tag. Actually Does hibernate support I18N, if so how...if you have any idea of getting through this... (but not manually editing the pojo classes generated by hibernate) , kindly share with the forum..

Danke im voraus

Satishhhh..

Hello,
I do not think that this is a Hibernate problem but more a problem in your application.
As far as I know numbers have to have a dot notation and not a german comma. So if the user inputs a comma you have to convert this using java from string to a number.

hi Laliluna,

At first thankyou for the reply and I wish u a happy new year 2006. und zwar wir habe die folgende problem gelöscht.

we parsed it using Numberformat class of java.text package at the time of inserting float value into database

Code:

new Float((NumberFormat
                    .getNumberInstance(new Locale(           
                            getUserLanguage())).parse(floatinput)).floatValue())

and we reformated at the time of presenting to user by

Code:

NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(
                    new Locale(getUserLanguage())).format(
                    new Float(floatinput.toString()))

hope we find still better solution in the future for entering German float style values...

cheers,
