Decimal (calc) on Linux

Elbe

Hi,

I want to display 3 data in my report: A, B et C, with C=A*B.


I call my report on a J2EE application.

I use a XML datasource (but as you can read after, it isn't seem to be the problem), and my numbers are with a coma (for istance: 3,14159 for PI )
A en B are "decimal", and can have 4 digits after the coma.
C is calculed in datasource.

For display data, I use "String" (not better with "decimal" )

When I used "WindowsXP/JDK5/Tomcat5.5", it works, but not in a "Ubuntu/JDK6/Tomcat6".

So, I try to do C=A with A as number (in order to do: *B)

On Ubuntu:

1) With a=1,3456 and A as decimal in XML datasource:
Result= 13,456
(WRONG)

2) With a=1,345 and A as decimal in XML datasource:
Result= 1,345
(CORRECT, but not A*B)

3) With a=1,3456 and A as decimal in XML datasource AND on display:
Result= 13456.0000 (I try many parameter for display numeric)

4) With a=1,3456 and A as string in XML datasource AND on display:
CORRECT but i can't multiply


5) I try to make a function:
parseFloat(row["info_calc::a"].replace(',','.'))
but Result=1.35
(And I don't want to make a function for this ! )

I also try (in java when I call BIRT):
task.setLocale(Locale.FRENCH);

but it doesn't work.


Thanks.
