Dev - proposal to add feature to flexible string expander

[Hans Bakker]

Good morning,

currently it is not possible to do currency localization on currency values
displayed in the label statement in a screen widget and every where the
flexible string expander is used.

attached a patch to enable the following code which displays the amount of a
payment taking into account the current locale and requested currency. The
implementation is similar to the 'bsh:' prefix.

${currency=EUR:payment.amount}
or
${currency=${payment.currencyUomId}:payment.amount}

will display as: € 40,33
when the currency is set to 'EUR' and the locale is dutch.

any opinions?

I think this sort of change is fine, but perhaps with a syntax closer to that of FreeMarker it will be easier for people to use/remember. Something like the "?" separator they use for built-ins. So it might look something like:

> ${payment.amount?currency(EUR)}
> or
> ${payment.amount?currency(${payment.currencyUomId})}

Of course, as we make this more complex eventually we're going to want a more formal parser than just doing String compares and such... I guess we can table that for later though.

Just a note : in France we write with € symbol after the amount. Perhaps it can
be done in the same time ?
