thankyou for your response.
This worked. But have a question. I am using sorting for this column too.
I made sure this column data is of type Date for sorting to work right.
Does this get sorted right I mean the Dates if the column data is String
type no right!!

Create a class that extends ColumnDecorator and implements the decorate()
method. I included an example at the bottom of my reply. Then just apply
that to the column you want to format:
<display:column property="myDate" decorator="ShortDateDecorator" />
Here's the class:
public class ShortDateDecorator implements ColumnDecorator
{
/**
* Used to format the date object.
*/
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("M/d/yyyy");
/**
* transform the given object into a String representation.
* @param columnValue Object
* @return String
*/
public final String decorate(Object columnValue)
{
String formattedDate = null;
if (columnValue instanceof Date)
{
formattedDate = dateFormat.format((Date) columnValue);
}
else if (columnValue instanceof String)
{
try
{
formattedDate =
dateFormat.format(dateFormat.parse((String)
columnValue));
}
catch (ParseException e)
{
//
}
}
return formattedDate;
}
}
