[JXTemplate] expression is not evaluated?

[hepabolu]

Can someone please explain why:

<jx:set var="mydate" value="${java.util.Date()}"/>

and

<jx:out value="${java.util.Date()}"/>

result in nothing

and

<jx:formatDate value="${java.util.Date()}" pattern="yyyyMMdd"/>

results in 'Cannot format given Object as a Date'?
