Im using Jibx to write my own binding for my java objects. Below is the block from my binding xml for a bigdecimal field.
....
<structure field="testVO">
<value name="joiningBonus" field="joiningBonus"/>
</structure>
....
On Marshalling im getting the Bigdecimal value with more decimal values. Below is the block of the output xml.
....
<joiningBonus>12345.45639999999912106432020664215087890625</joiningBonus>
....
If i want Bigdecimal(21,6) precision, how to achieve it??
Thanks none replied, it paved way to solve it by myself,
JiBX has functionality of serilizing and deserializing the values.
Below is part of my binding xml
<format label="decimalFormat" type="java.math.BigDecimal"
serializer="com.test.Formatter.serializeBigDecimal" />
This is the format specifier tag, Formatter.serializeBigdecimal is the static method in public class which will be called on usage of format like below
<value name="joiningBonus" field="joiningBonus" format="decimalFormat"/>
Below is the public class and static method
public class Formatter{
public static String serializeBigDecimal(BigDecimal joiningBonus) {
return joiningBonus.setScale(6, BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_UP).toString();
}
}
Below is the before usage of serializer and after its usage output
Before:
......
<joiningBonus>12345.3467570000054754674578454567<joiningBonus>
......
After:
......
<joiningBonus>12345.346757<joiningBonus>
