Description

To simulate the error run the TestCase
org.apache.commons.beanutils.locale.LocalConvertUtilsTestCase.fixmetestNegativeScalar.

The DecimalLocaleConverter has an error in constructor chaining.
The following constructor
>>>
public DecimalLocaleConverter(Locale locale, String pattern, boolean locPattern)

{ this(null, locale, pattern, locPattern); }

<<<
calls the constructor
>>>
public DecimalLocaleConverter(Object defaultValue, Locale locale, String pattern, boolean
locPattern)

{ super(defaultValue, locale, pattern, locPattern); }

<<<
which always returns a default value.
The constructor has to call anlogous to DateLocalConverter
>>>
public DecimalLocaleConverter(Locale locale, String pattern, boolean locPattern)

{ super(locale, pattern, locPattern); }

<<<

By the way: I missing a CalendarLocalConverter as a subclass of DateLocaleConverter!

Thanks,
