Jelly formatDate

[nathan phillips <na...@hotmail.com>]

Does the formatDate tag work correctly?  Since Jelly does not build 
according to the web sites instructions right now, I'm using 
commons-jelly-20030310.073407.jar and commons-jelly-tags-fmt-SNAPSHOT.jar.  
All of these example below produce the same result of 2003-03-17 00:00:00.0.

<fmt:formatDate value="${date}" pattern="MM/dd/yyyy" />
<fmt:formatDate value="${date}" dateStyle="short" />
<fmt:formatDate value="${date}" type="date" dateStyle="short" />
<fmt:formatDate value="${date}" dateStyle="full" />

Does anyone have any suggestions?  Thanks for your help.

Nathan,

<fmt:formatDate> mimics JSTL's counterpart.  In order to do formatting
correctly, you must have a locale set prior to using formatting tags.  <fmt>
tags locate locale in the following order:

1. use locale specified in parent <fmt:bundle>, if any
2. use locale specified in <fmt:setLocale>, prior to processing the tag
3. set a fallback locale by setting a locale object in the Jelly context
variable "org.apache.commons.jelly.tags.fmt.fallbackLocale"
