<div>
looks like the Rounding strategy is same in Both java 4 &amp;&nbsp;Java 6. However, the same number is getting rounded differently between those Java version. Does any of the other factors play a role, like 64 bit etc?<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
We are in the process of migrating our applications from Java 4 to Java 6<br />
<br />
We see some issues in rounding the double numbers using Decimal Format class.<br />
The rounding is different is different between Java 4 &amp;&nbsp;java 6.<br />
<br />
using the following pattern<br />
new DecimalFormat(&quot;0.##&quot;);<br />
<br />
the difference is something like this<br />
<br />
34.35 &nbsp;VS 34.34<br />
<br />
How can we force to use the same rounding pattern so that they are not different.<br />
<br />
Are there any other classes that behave differently between the Java versions<br />
<br />
thanks<br />

Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) is a specification defining a collection of Java-based server and client technologies and how they interoperate. Java EE specifies server and client architectures and uses profiles to define technology sets targeted at specific classes of applications. All Java EE profiles share a set of common features, such as naming and resource injection, packaging rules and security requirements.
