Use Different Locale for @NumberFormat in Spring

Question

I am working on a Spring 3 project and I need to format a Long field for Turkish currency. The default Locale of the application is en_US

Answer 1

There are many ways but you could for example register a custom implementation of AnnotationFormatterFactory as a bean which would allow you to handle the formatting manually. This is documentented in the Spring documentation section 6.6. The example in the documentation even handles the use case of adjusting @NumberFormat's behavior.
