Rounding issue with BigDecimal and JSP

richardgundersen-JavaNetJul 9 2007 — edited Jul 11 2007

Hi

In my Java I have two BigDecimals that I pass to a JSP. THey both have a scale of 2, so I have

x = 5.52 and y =1.22

When I add them up in the JSP, the decimal places are lost e.g.

<c:out value="${ x + y)"/>

I get 6, instead of 6.74

Please can someone tell my why I get this rounding error?

Thanks!
