Problem with JSTL date

[Justin Howard]

Hi All,

I am trying to display the date from the database. If I do not apply any formatting it displays correctly, but if I apply any formatting it does not display.

    
<td><fmt:formatDate type="both" value="${row.DUE_DATE}"/></td>

Also, how can I display the current date and Time of New York, irrespective of the login location of the user in jstl?

Thanks

What does a View Source in the browser reveal?

[Justin Howard]

The view source ::

    
<fmt:formatDate type="both" value="2009-05-30 00:00:00.0"/>

Whenever something isn't displaying correctly, this should always be your first debugging step.

So now you know that you need to figure out why your JSTL tags aren't evaluating.

I added this

  <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/fmt" prefix="fmt"%>  

but now it is throwing an exception

   
org.apache.jasper.JasperException:According to TLD or attribute directive in tag file, attribute value does not accept any expressions

How should I display it. All the examples on the net are like this

   
<td><fmt:formatDate type="both" value="${row.CREATED_DATE}"/></td>

Probably the wrong URI.

You haven't provided what versions of JSP and JSTL you are using as directed by the forum instructions.

[Justin Howard]

JSP :: 2.5/2.1
I have jstl.jar and jstl-standard.jar in my build path.

[Bear Bibeault]

For that version of JSP, make sure that you have the JSTL 1.2 (again, you didn't say which version) jar in your WEB-INF/lib (there's only one jar file needed) and fix your JSTL URI. The one you are using is for JSTL 1.0.

Thanks a lot!

I had one more question.
how can I display the current date and Time of New York, irrespective of the login location of the user in jstl?

Thanks

Specify the time zone.
