It doesn't seem to work. I am developing a java application on an italian server, but want numbers to come in english format, and i keep getting wrong formatting. i want 1,234.56 but i get 1.234,56. i passed to jasper the parameter REPORT_LOCALE as desired but it seems the JasperReports 2.0.4 doesn't use it to format the numbers. the problem is that in iReports exports it is correct, only the web generated pdf is wrong. I checked here but they all suggest using custom java classes or scriptlets to do this, but is there a way to make this with default jasper reports features and locales ?? Thanks
