How to specify RoundingMode for decimal numbers in Jasper Reports

I'm using Java with Jasper Reports and would like to format a decimal value using this format mask "#,##0.00". At the first sight all looks fine, but I found that my decimal values are rounded using RoundingMode.HALF_EVEN rounding mode and this is not correct in my case.

Is this possible to specify an other rounding mode (I need HALF_DOWN mode)?

You can use the scriptlets mechanism.

The sample

• Java class

package utils;

import java.math.BigDecimal;
import java.math.RoundingMode;
import java.text.DecimalFormat;

public class RoundingHelper {

    public static String round(BigDecimal value, RoundingMode mode, String pattern) {
        DecimalFormat format = new DecimalFormat(pattern);
        format.setRoundingMode(mode);
        return format.format(value);
    }
}

• The report's template:

</jasperReport>

• The result will be (preview in iReport)

Another solution

Another way is to use BigDecimal.setScale(int, java.math.RoundingMode) method (for double field):

<textFieldExpression class="java.lang.String"><![CDATA[new BigDecimal($F{COST}).setScale(0, BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_DOWN).toString()]]></textFieldExpression> 

or just (for BigDecimal field):

<textFieldExpression class="java.lang.String"><![CDATA[$F{COST}.setScale(0, BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_DOWN).toString()]]></textFieldExpression>
