parseDate question

[James Norman <jn...@taregon.com>]

I am trying to parse a String object into a date using the parseDate tag.  My code is as follows:

<fmt:parseDate var="cellDate" value="${cell.value}" />
<td><fmt:formatDate value="${cellDate}" /></td>

And I get this exception:
 [ServletException in:/WEB-INF/jsp/displayers/requestsDisplayer.jsp] In <parseDate>, value attribute can not be parsed: "1055792945855"' 

Where cell.value returns a String of "1055792945855".  Can this not be parsed into a date object?  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
james

doesn't look like you can really use parseDate in millis formate.  But you
can do this.

<jsp:useBean id='cellDate' class='java.util.Date'/>
<c:set target='${cellDate}' property='time' value='${cell.value}'/>
<fmt:formatDate value='${cellDate}' type='both'/>
