It may be the model. What version of WebObjects are you using? What
OS? In WO5.x Windows, NSNumber shouldn't be available as an "internal
type" in the inspector. It should be "Integer" instead. If you are looking,
not in the inspector, but in the grid view in EOModeler, there are a bunch
of confusing mis-designed things going on that I won't get into now, but:
don't. Instead hilite the attribute and press the 'i' button to get the
inspector. Make sure internal type is "Integer".
In addition, you sometimes need to mess with the "Value Type" which is
something else again. In EOModeler click on the "Add Column" popup, and add
the "Value Type" column to the grid view. The Value Type is (again,
confusingly) not available in the Inspector, you need to use the grid view.
The possible values of "Value Type" are documented here:
http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/webobjects/UsingEOModeler/4WorkingWithAttributes/Value_Type.html
You probably want to try either 'f' or 'd'.
If you are using OS X instead of Windows, the EOModeler interface may be
somewhat different; I'm not familiar with it. But the "Value Type" still
exists somewhere, and should be set. If you are using WO 4.5 or
earlier.... I'm really not sure.

Hi all,
I am facing a (may be simple) problem. In a d2w (and d2j) apps, i have a
couple of fields which most be floats (cuantities which cannot be mesured
by integers). The problem is that, eventhough I was able (via the
assistent) to aloud the interface to accept decimal/float values, when
commiting (say when saveing) the transaction, it is rounded to an integer
and saved as that. e.g., 0.678 is saved as 1, 0.456 as 0 and so on.
Since this cuantities are the balance of a stock, this behave is unacceptable.
I know that:
it is not the database (in the squema the values are defined as
floats)
it is not the model (I hope; the "internal" type is NSNumber and
the external one is "double precision")
it is not the textfield (it has a formatter of the form: 0.000)
What else can it be???
