Removing trailing zeros from BigDecimal in Java

Use toPlainString()

BigDecimal d = new BigDecimal("600.0").setScale(2, RoundingMode.HALF_UP).stripTrailingZeros();
System.out.println(d.toPlainString()); // Printed 600 for me

I’m not into JSF (yet), but converter might look like this:

@FacesConverter("bigDecimalPlainDisplay")
public class BigDecimalDisplayConverter implements Converter {
    @Override
    public Object getAsObject(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, String value) {
        throw new BigDecimal(value);
    }

    @Override
    public String getAsString(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value) {
        BigDecimal  bd = (BigDecimal)value;
        return bd.setScale(2, RoundingMode.HALF_UP).stripTrailingZeros().toPlainString();
    }
}

and then in xhtml:

<h:inputText id="bigDecimalView" value="#{bigDecimalObject}" 
    size="20" required="true" label="Value">
    <f:converter converterId="bigDecimalPlainDisplay" />
</h:inputText>
