Cool, <bean:write format="E, MMMM dd, yyyy" name="deltaItem" property="newValueTs"/>
works. Thanks! -----Original Message----- From: Jerome Jacobsen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2003 3:09 PM To: Tag Libraries Users List Subject: RE: DateTime I think this should work: <dt:format pattern="E, MMMM dd, yyyy"><bean:write name="deltaItem" property="newValueTs.time" /></dt:format> Hopefully the above formatted properly in your mail reader. Anyway I think your problem is that there is whitespace surrounding your long time value and it gets passed to the dt:format tag handler. I think the tag should handle this gracefully, but it doesn't in my version at least. You might try this if using Struts 1.1b2 or greater. <bean:write format="E, MMMM dd, yyyy" name="deltaItem" property="newValueTs"/> I haven't tried it yet. Note that the ".time" is removed from property. Another option is that if you use a JSP 1.2 container you can use JSTL. <fmt:formatDate value='${deltaItem.newValueTs}' pattern='E, MMMM dd, yyyy'/> Hope one of these works for you. -Jerome > -----Original Message----- > From: Cohan, Sean [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2003 2:49 PM > To: 'Tag Libraries Users List' > Subject: DateTime > > > I'm trying to pass a java.util.date.getTime() to the DateTime format tag > using a Struts bean tag, but keep getting an 'Invalid Date' message > displayed on my page.
