I've got a JSP page that is retrieving information from a PostgreSQL
database. One of the fields is a datefield. Here's the code to what I'm
displaying:

while (rs.next()) {
%>
<tr>
  <td><%= rs.getString("position_code") %></td>
  <td><%= rs.getString("effective_date") %></td>
</tr>

When it displays, the date shows up in the following format: 2002-11-14

I'd like it to show up as '11-14-2002'. I'm trying to use the datetime
taglib so I tried it like this:

  <td><dt:format pattern="mm/dd/yyyy"><%=rs.getString("effective_date")
%></dt:format></td>

But when I run the JSP now, It says invalid date instead of showing the
date.

What am I doing wrong?
