Re: Need info on: JspException: In <parseNumber>, a parse locale can not be established

I was able to solve this problem. 

I had to set 
<fmt:setLocale value="en-US"/>
and set the parseLocale attribute of fmt:parseNumber
to "en-US"

I was only getting this error in Tomcat's
localhost2006-09-21.log when a User Agent from Germany
was accessing the page which had fmt:parseNumber on
it. 

The JSTL spec says that if a locale is not specified
then it defaults to the browser's locale. 

That must have caused this error.
