Using java formatter on web

HTML will eat spaces.. use &nbsp
To get rightly aligned columns you need to use font that is monospaced!

Formatter formatter = null;
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append("%-").append(max).append(".").append(max).append("s");
String format = sb.toString();
for (Article a : listaArtikala)
{
// html pojede razmake - moras koristiti &nbsp i monospaced font (npr Courier)
sb = new StringBuilder();
formatter = new Formatter(sb);

formatter.format(format, a.getName() + ",");
formatter.format("%-14.14s", a.getArticlePeriod().getFormatted() + ",");
formatter.format("%-10.10s", CurrencyUtils.formatCurrency(a.getPrice()) + "kn");
if (log.isDebugEnabled()) log.debug(formatter.toString());

articleTypeSIList.add(new SelectItem(a.getOid(), formatter.toString().replace(" ", " ")));
}
