Calendar in JSTL

[sudha swami]

Hi,
As Date is deprecated, I am using Calendar for one of the data fields. I want to display the Calendar in JSP using JSTL format function. I tried to do this, but it is giving error.

<fmt:formatDate value="${calendarObj}" type="calendar" pattern="MM/dd/yyyy"/>

Error is:
Attempt to coerce a value of type "java.util.GregorianCalendar" to type "java.util.Date"'

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Sudha

java.util.Date is not deprecated.

Many of its older constructors and methods are, but Date itself is alive and well and you should feel free to use it.
