           Summary: [BUG+PATCH] FormattingDecimalConvertor.java does not
                    parse in BigDecimal mode
           Product: Cocoon 2
           Version: Current SVN 2.1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: CocoonForms
        AssignedTo: dev@cocoon.apache.org
        ReportedBy: mattom@gmx.at


This patch enables BigDecimal parsing in FormattingDecimalConvertor.

Basically if you have a widget with datatype decimal and enter a very large
number, something like 999999991999999999199999999919999999991 and submit
the form you'll get someting like a rounded value in technical notation.

same thing with datatype long, to be seen in the samples at
http://cocoon.zones.apache.org/demos/release/samples/blocks/forms/form1

click NumberFields to change tab and enter
999999991999999999199999999919999999991
into "Enter another number, larger than the other number:"

submit, then you get as value for the same field:
9,223,372,036,854,775,807

which is quite the same, though its no BigDecimal problem.

at least some kind of validation error should occur... but a webapp
changing user submitted values without a hint is a rather hot thing :-).
