hiding a -ve sign of a field on JSP

[db2sachin]

I have an amount field on my JSP page. This field can contain -ve values as well but I don't want to show the -ve sign on the page. How do I do that ? The data is passed thru a form (value object in Struts framework).
Thanks in advance

Can't you use java.lang.Math.abs(value)?

save the value in binary form in 2's Complement. this way you don't need a -ve sign, but there will be overhead to do to binary<->decimal coversion.
