Hy, thanks to your response. I added the proposed code to my servlet but nothing happens. I use the following code to output the timestamp: $bu.LastVisited
The function "getLastVisited" of the Class of $bu returns a "Date"-Object. This outputs the date in "normal" format, no matter whether DateTool is embedded or not. With embedded DateTool I tried the "$bu.LastVisited.long" but it simply outputs the string "$bu.LastVisited.long" and not the formated date. So how do I use this tool?
