How to change point by comma in java and type BigDecimal?

2

I am a beginner in java and am in doubt about type BigDecimal , because it accepts values with points and not with commas. I'm developing software for video rental and I want to save the value of my movie category with comma and not with dot:

private void btnSalvarActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                          

    BigDecimal valor = new BigDecimal(0);

    if (!cmpValor.getText().equals("")) {  
        valor = new BigDecimal(cmpValor.getText());  
    }  
    if(cmpDescricao != null) {
        categoriaController.salvar(cmpDescricao.getText(), valor);
    }
}

When I type the value of the category with a comma, my application generates an error:

I wonder if there's a way for him to accept numbers typed with a comma!

You can change the comma per point through the code, so the front end will be transparent.

Example

 valor = new BigDecimal(cmpValor.getText().replace(",",".");
