number format not working

[cerien]

Hi

I'm running Jaspersoft studio 6.3.1 on Linux Mint.

I have a variable defined as :

<variable name="solde" class="java.lang.String">
        <variableExpression><![CDATA[$V{mntfac1}+$V{mntpay1}]]></variableExpression>
    </variable>

and displayed as:

<textField pattern="#,##0.00 €">
                <reportElement x="333" y="24" width="100" height="14" uuid="5d1028f5-46e9-4367-aa9b-771adc12fdc5"/>
                <textElement textAlignment="Right"/>
                <textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$V{solde}]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>

And it displays as it had not format - solde is the addition of two other variables, it computes right, I can apply succesfully the pattern to the other variables, but the result (solde) wont

Any ideas why ?

Tks

<variable name="solde" class="java.lang.String">
        <variableExpression><![CDATA[$V{mntfac1}+$V{mntpay1}]]></variableExpression>
    </variable>

class="java.lang.String" ?
Which result when it changed to java.lang.Double ?

thanks, it works indeed. What I fail to understand is that the variable was created as the sum of two doubles, and got a string type - and a correct result !

It is a "feature" of Studio.

Since one version (i don't remember which one) all fields (textfields?) created as String.

Sometimes it work fine. Sometimes problems suddenly appear a problrms. Be careful.
