Error with taglib parseDate
Hi all,
I use <parseDate> in webapp "www.buildtrees.com" as follows:
***
<fmt:parseDate var="birthdate" value="${param.birthdate}"
pattern="MMM-dd-yyyy" />
***
It works great when I visit the site with my computers. On the other
hand, some of my web visitors produce the error below:
***
Exception: javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: In <parseDate>, value
attribute can not be parsed: "OCT-02-2002"
Error message: In <parseDate>, value attribute can not be parsed:
"OCT-02-2002"
***
I suspect the problem is browser related. Does anyone has a solution
for this? I searched the internet, but I could not find anything that
could help, primarily because I have not been able to reproduce the
error with my computers. I had to wait for a web surfer with the "wrong
configuration" to access the site.
All help appreciated.
Lamine

Browser-based locale setting could certainly cause this to fail. If
you want to force the app to always use English, you should probably
include the following in web.xml:
<context-param>
<param-name>javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.fmt.locale</param-name>
<param-value>en_US</param-value>
</context-param>
If you just want to change that specific tag, try the parseLocale
attribute:
<fmt:parseDate var="birthdate"
value="${param.birthdate}"
pattern="MMM-dd-yyyy"
parseLocale="en_US"/>
