formatting timestamps for display

[arjun rampal]

Hi on jsp using struts page I am displaying the timestamp

 <td><bean:write name="det" property="aTime" /></td> 

result-

 2006-08-30 07:20:16.0 
   

Now rather than showing all values I wish to show only 07:20:16 means no date and no last 0 which is indiacating nanao seconds.

Now substring was option but the value returned is date here not string

The JSTL <fmt:formatDate> action will allow you to specify any pattern for displaying dates and times.

Please use more meaning subjects in future posts. I have adjusted this one on your behalf.

soory for the subject

I used <td><bean:write name="de" property="aTime" formatKey="org.apache.struts.taglib.bean.format.sql.timestamp" /></td>
and in application.properties

org.apache.struts.taglib.bean.format.sql.timestamp=hh:mm:ss

but now one problem 18:36:40 is dispaly as 06:36:40 but I want it as 18:36:40 only

According to the SimpleDateFormat API you use lower case h for 12 hour time, and upper case H for 24 hour time.
ie: change your application.properties file to this:

org.apache.struts.taglib.bean.format.sql.timestamp=HH:mm:ss

ok use HH in properties file rather than hh

thanks
