Help Needed in EL

<fmt:message key="label.accountdetailsjsp.term_months">
<fmt aram value="${requestbean.term}"/>
</fmt:message>

Here the term is printed as 00060 Months. I wanted that to be 60 months.

How can i do that? Can i do that in the EL itself.

Any help is appreciated.

You might be able to trick it like this:

<fmt:message key="label.accountdetailsjsp.term_months">
<fmt aram value="${requestbean.term + 0}"/>
</fmt:message>

I believe this would convert term from a String to an int before setting the param value.

Thanks Marc. But i doubt whether this code will be approved during code review..

Can't you format it in the bean?

Right. The creator of the bean should have made the field an Integer and not a String.
