> Servlet NumberFormatException problem

Hi -- Newbie question:

I have class A with the following code in my main method:

System.out.println(Double.parseDouble("19.95"));

This code compiles and runs fine printing out 19.95 to command prompt..

When I copy this exact code into my servlet B's doPost method it compiles fine but when I run the servlet (via browser form submit) the servlet stops executing when it reaches this line. The javawebserver log file says there is a NumberFormatException.

Any ideas why this might be?

Thanks for any help

J
