Formatting Number as percentage using <fmt:FormatNumber>

[Pawan Choure]

Hi,
I want to format a number as given below

Number 5.75
Expected output:5.75%

<fmt:formatNumber value="5.75"  type="percent" maxFractionDigits="4" maxIntegerDigits="4"/>

Output is 575%
which is wrong since the expected output is 5.75%

I can achieve the expected output using

<fmt:formatNumber value="5.75"  maxFractionDigits="4" maxIntegerDigits="4"></fmt:formatNumber>%

but i dont want to use that. I want to use either percent or pattern to get the desired result.

Thanks in advance......




but when i am changing

Divide the value by 100.

Maybe your expected output, but the java.text.DecimalFormat class specifies that the % sign should: Multiply by 100 and show as percentage.

It is designed for the case where you do the calculation. eg 8/10 on the test translates as 80%, not 0.8%

Thanks for your reply.
I got it working by divide by 100...
