Formatting Currency Value

Question

hi,
In my page i have a table that displays values from the database. To do this, i have created a VO programmatically, since the VO has to change dynamically.
In my database one of my column is of type NUMBER and shows the value like 10000.00. What i want is when i display this value in my OAPage, i want it to be formatted to 10,000.00. I dont have any EO, i have created the VO also programmatically.
I have a basic idea that i have to use decimalFormat for this, but i am not know where and how should i use it.
Please help me regarding this.
Thanking you

Hi,
Using OATotalRowBean, i have wrriten the following statements to format the total values displayed in each and every column of a table whose Totalling is set to true.
OATableBean tableBean = (OATableBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("Table");
     if(tableBean != null)
          OATotalRowBean totalRowBean = (OATotalRowBean)tableBean.getColumnFooter();
System.out.println("Formattotal : "+totalRowBean);
if (totalRowBean != null)
oracle.cabo.ui.validate.Formatter formatter = new OADecimalValidater("#,##0.00;#,##0.00","#,##0.00;#,##0.00");
totalRowBean.setAttributeValue(ON_SUBMIT_VALIDATER_ATTR, formatter);
In the guide its mentioned to use getColumnFooter method of a tablebean. Even the example uses like the above. But when i do a dot after the tableBean ie in its intellisense the getColumnFooter() method is found striked. Still if i use it as above to format the total value, nothing is being formatted in my page and the variable totalRowBean returns a null value. I dont know where and what is wrong with this.
Please help me in formatting the total value of table's each and every column to currency as formatted in the column values.
Thanking you
