Fixedformat4j 1.1.1 released

Posted by Jacob von Eyben on May 30th, 2008

We use fixedformat4j on my current project and I am developing fixedformat4j along the way. We have found the initial 1.0.0 release lacking in the ability to parse signed numbers like:

00011050+, that equals a two digit signed bigdecimal number 100.50


The fixedformatnumber annotation was introduced with the ability to add a signed attribute.

This is how you would annotate your method to be able to read and write a string like 000010050+:

...
@Field(offset = 1, length = 10, align = Align.RIGHT, paddingChar = '0')
@FixedFormatDecimal(useDecimalDelimiter = true)
@FixedFormatNumber(sign = Sign.APPEND)
public BigDecimal getBigDecimalData() {
  return bigDecimalData;
}
...

This was added in version 1.1.0, but some bugs was spotted and fixed so quickly a 1.1.1 version was released.

Feel free to download the latest version and take a look at the changelist.
