Hibernate - BigDecimal Mapping Precision

Question

Problem: Seems my mapping class for a big decimal is dropping 0 when grabbing values like 50.20 from the oracle database. It will grab the value correctly if its 50.23 but nothing with a 0 on the end. I imagine its something simple i am missing. Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Details

Database: Oracle 11G Field Definition: Numeric(8,2)

mapping getter/setter

    @Column ( name="PRICE", precision = 8, scale = 2 )
private BigDecimal price;

public BigDecimal getPrice()
{
    return price;
}
public void setPrice( BigDecimal price )
{
    this.price = price;
}

Answer 1

50.2 is the same as 50.20, 50.200, etc. If you want to display it with two digits use java.text.DecimalFormat.format(..)

Specifying precision limits the maximum number of decimal digits, not the minimum.
