If I understand you correctly, you are saying that when you enter a 
comma into a field that is supposed to take a BigDecimal value, it is 
interpreted as the grouping character and not the decimal character.  
So if you type 1,50, you get 150 instead of 1 1/2.  Is this correct?

Java does not have a BigDecimal field component.  The closest thing
in both the AWT and Swing are text fields.  There are many component 
libraries that offer this support, so I presume that you are using
one of these.  If this is correct, then which specific component are 
you using?

If not, then your code must be converting the String read from the
text field into a numeric value, and the problem would be in that
code.

In either case, if you can post the code that creates the component
and/or converts the value to a BigDecimal value, then someone may be
able to see what the problem is.
