html:text and international date / value formats (like bean:write)

[Torsten Trzeciak <to...@trzeciak.de>]

Hi,
I am developing an application which must present numbers and dates in
different international formats.
The new bean:write tag (format attribute) works great. Although I don't
know to which version the nightly built belongs.
 
Now I need something similar for the html:text tag to present my form
data in different formats.
 
What is the best approach?
 
Using a common html tag with bean:write as a value ?
How will the form -> bean mapping work after sending the form data?
 
Thanks in advance
