Going for a "neat" solution, in our project, we tried extending sql.Date and overwriting the toString method to output a date formatted with SimpleDateFormat in dd/MM/yyyy format, We then used this data type as our Date type in our data beans so that when you do a bean:write on it, it will output the date in the correct format
Unfortunately, we were using scaffold StorageBaseBean findCollection to get our data and for some reason or another, it was having some casting issues. We had to resort to creating xxxString version of the dates in the data bean that converts the dats into their correct format before returning the string cheers MC "Desmond" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> t> cc: Subject: RE: date format 19/02/2003 04:03 AM Please respond to "Struts Users Mailing List" Use the SimpleDateFormat to do it so.
