Date/time formatting
If I wanted to output a date/time value in the user's locale, is there a
simple way to do that? I see there is a <date> tag which would be
helpful for getting the date format correct without manually specifying
it, but what about a similar <time> tag? Am I going to need to manually
specify the standard date format as "M/D/y h/mm/ss a" for US English,
and just require any translation to specify its own?
Thanks,
~Jonathan

Nevermind, I was reading it wrong; when using those format strings, they belong in <s:text ...> tags, not in <s:date ...>. Sorry, and thanks!

I've looked at that, but it doesn't explain when format.time is used. I can see that format.date gets used when formatting dates using the <s:date ...> tag, but since there is no <s:time ...> tag, when is format.time used?

Right, but I don't want to specify the format explicitely, since it should depend on the localization of the browser. But when I don't specify it, I don't get the time included in the output. Is there a way to get both?

you can also use the Struts date tag
<%@taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %>
<s:date name="person.birthday" format="dd/MM/yyyy" />
if no format is specified format defaults to DateFormat.MEDIUM
(in US = MMM d, yyyy)http://struts.apache.org/2.0.14/docs/date.html

java.text.SimpleDateFormat formats a java.util.Date according to a
