There probably is a better struts way of doing this, but here is one way that gets the job done: - Use a list of string-formatted datetimes. Format the dates before putting them on the list. - For formatting, review the classes java.util.Date, java.util.Calendar, java.text.DateFormat,

Struts2: New life to IBM RAD?

IBM seems to have abandoned Struts (stuck at Struts 1.1, with no plans to support newer versions) on their RAD 6 IDE and later. They also strongly discourages replacing the Struts JAR files in RAD with newer versions, stating that various problems would occur. I am trying to find a way to

I doubt it. RAD 6 is based on an old version of Eclipse (I think 3.0), and old versions of Struts and other technologies. It also includes its own attempt at what Exadel does for Struts. Works well if you can live with the limitations, but otherwise... Not so hot. Exadel seems targeted at
