Description

The struts validator should allow validation for float and double values where commas are used for decimal separator. E.g. 2.0 vs 2,0.

(commons-validator itself supports it (http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34198), so it should be a matter of

• defining/taking the locale from somewhere
• using the preferred locale in FieldsChecks.java (and maybe a few other places)

Probably a pref to not use this behaviour could be needed as well.
