I'm not sure why it would work in 2 and not 2.5. My wild guess is that the Date constructor is failing (
you should see an exception if this is the case).
Given that the Date constructor that takes a String has been
deprecated since Java 1.1, I wouldn't use it. I'd either use DateFormat.parse in place of it or create a method in Person that returns a Date object. Personally, I'd prefer the latter to keep
Java code out of the
JSP.
