Description

The attached patch brings in support for a "Number" tag, to compliment the "Date" tag, exposing the java.text.NumberFormat class.

The main purpose of this tag is to render currency amounts, which are typically expressed as a java.util.Currency and a java.math.BigDecimal.

Currently, you can render currency amounts using a format string, but this presupposes that you preselect a given currency, with a given symbol, and given fraction digits.

With this tag, you are able to take a UBL XSD, put it through JAXB to produce a set of javabeans, and print currency amounts without being forced to pre-render the amounts in the action class.
