How to handle Dates?

[Brian McGovern <bm...@imediainc.com>]

Hi looking for input on how to approach dates across all levels of my struts app.  Mainly what approach will allow me to handle formatting on the presentation layer. 

Is there any tag lib available in struts to handle formatting of a date type object ?

I solved this problem with a format key in my application.properties:

application.date_format.short=dd.MM.yyyy
application.date_format.long=dd.MM.yyyy hh:mm:ss

and in presentation layer I use : bean:write. this tag has:  formatKey
or format as atributes.
in my case I use formatKey. if you would like to change the formating
just modify the format in your application.properties.

I hope will help this.

I wrote my own tag to format dates before I came across the Jakarta 
Taglibs. You could try the Date/Time taglib if you don't want to use 
JSTL.
