Re: [T5] How to format java.lang.Date when using expansion

[Chris Lewis <ch...@bellsouth.net>]

As you can see, there's a lot of options, and on that note I'll add one 
more. You can use the DateFormat component, which is part of  this 
component library: http://code.google.com/p/gc-tapestry-components/.

It has the disadvantage of providing a specific function, as opposed to 
Output/OutputLocaleNumber which handle various situations. This 
limitation, on the other hand, makes it easier to use:

<div t:type="gc/dateformat" date="article.created" format="dd MMMM yyyy"/>

Just pass it a date (article.created is a page property) and a date 
format as supported by java's SimpleDateFormat, and that's all.
