currency symbol changes

[jay_2]

Have a strange issue where the currency symbol displays properly ($) when logged in direct to JRS, but when running same report embedded  in our application, I get a 'British pound' sign. Running a scheduled report also produces the desired $ sign.

The format (¤ #,##0) in the report does have a space, but that has not been a problem since I set the locale as en_US.

Jaspersoft Pro 5.6.1 on CentOS embedded in iFrame with SSO.

How can it vary between the embedded view vs. non-embedded view?

Somewhere it's picking up the locale of the browser as en_UK, I absolutely hate the ¤ symbol in java because of these kinds of issues- if you mean to always set USD then replace ¤ with $ and that will solve it.

I'm sure you're right since I'm connecting from Canada and my system is set to UK English. This hasn't happened before and we just deployed a new production system.

 

I had really wanted to avoid opening the reports up and changing that format in the many fields it appears. I know one fix is to remove the space between the ¤ symbol, but I want the space there and this is a better solution.

 

Thank you for your suggestion, it's a good one. Still hoping for a server-side answer for the moment.

Would appending &userLocale=en_US to the URL do the trick?

That is worth a try, thank you. I'm hopeful to find a setting in a config file. I'll post here when I choose a solution.
