Date Formatting/parsing in XSL

[Chris Gow <cg...@digitalfairway.net>]

Okay, I need to do some formatting of dates in my XSL file.  At first I
tried embedding Java method calls in my XSL file, and I've got it
working (sort of), but I am curious to know if there is a better
approach.  XSL comes with a standard function for formatting numbers, is
there one for formatting/parsing dates?  For example, I would like to
convert the date 10/02/2000 into something like Monday October 2, 2000.

Thanks

Chris Gow

Not exactly a response to your question, but if you are 
internationalizing some of these things, you might be interested in my

Sessions with XSP and JSP

[Benjamin Dixon <be...@arches.uga.edu>]

All,

I'm looking into using PHP or JSP for simple but dynamic pages that I
don't think need to be written in XML with stylesheets but I'd like for
these pages to take part in the same session that the user creates with
XSP, is there a Java oriented way to do this without saving cookie data to
the database?
