Browser-based locale setting could certainly cause this to fail. If
you want to force the app to always use English, you should probably
include the following in web.xml:
<context-param>
<param-name>javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.fmt.locale</param-name>
<param-value>en_US</param-value>
</context-param>
If you just want to change that specific tag, try the parseLocale attribute:
<fmt:parseDate var="birthdate"
value="${param.birthdate}"
pattern="MMM-dd-yyyy"
parseLocale="en_US"/>
