formatDate sometimes doesn't render right
Hi,
The format taglib formatDate tag sometimes doesn't return the formatted
date.
My JSP has a fragment that looks like this:
<cache:cache key="NewsPressReleases" cron="0 * * * *">
<fmt:formatDate value="${release}" pattern="MMM dd, yyyy"/>
</cache:cache>
(The cache tag library is from OpenSymphony.)
Most of the time, the page will show a date like Jun 11, 2004.
Sometimes it will show the raw date format, like "2004-06-23
08:00:00.0". Sometimes it returns the date with the month in lower
case, like "jun" instead of "Jun".
There are no error messages reported.
The cache tag is probably merely be capturing what some other problem
is rendering, that the execution of the JSTL fmt command periodically
fails and returns the raw date. But, I thought I'd include that
context.
Has anyone seen this before? I don't see reports of this in the
archive for this list. Anyone have suggestions for how I should
proceed?
Environment:
Sun Solaris 9
SunCluster
Tomcat 5 with clustering
Jakarta JSTL standard 1.1
OpenSymphony tag lib
Thanks!

Next thing I'd try is eliminating Standard completely:
<%@ page import="java.text.SimpleDateFormat" %>
<cache:cache key="NewsPressReleases" cron="0 * * * *">
<%= new SimpleDateFormat("MMM dd,
yyyy").format(pageContext.findAttribute("release")) %>
</cache:cache>

I'm trying to troubleshoot further. Instead of sitting at my browser
and clicking reload, I decided to try using JMeter to look for the
error (which is when the fmt tag doesn't format the Date right).
When I look at the responses from JMeter, the date format is always
wrong.
This is very strange. JMeter is simply talking to my server. The
rendering of the JSP using the fmt tag to format the date is running on
the server. Why would JMeter always show me the raw Date format
instead of the fmt:formatDate format?

Thank you for your quick response, Kris.
Yes I've tried without the cache tags, but the problem is intermittent.
I can do many page reloads and not see it. It comes up a few times a
week. I've posted to the OpenSymphony list, and there was no answer.

Have you tried testing without the <cache:cache> tag?
