We have a custom tag, FormatDateTag extends org.apache.taglibs.standard.tag.common.fmt.FormatDateSupport. It’s been working ok for a number of years under Oracle JVM. Now, we are moving to adoptOpenJDK & we are seeing some differences in how tomcat generation of JSP to Java classes happens when tomcat is doing the EL evaluation. Here is an example JSP which shows the issue…
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html" isELIgnored="false" %> <%@ page import="java.util.Date" %> <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/tld/suitags.tld" prefix="sui" %> <% Date chdt = new Date(); request.setAttribute("chdt", chdt); %> <sui:formatDate value="${chdt}" type="date" dateStyle="shortfull" /> Looking at the compiled JSP source code under Oracle JVM, we see this… // /tagUnitTests/sui/formatDate/testCaliHDateTime1.jsp(20,0) name = value type = java.lang.Object reqTime = true required = true fragment = false deferredValue = false expectedTypeName = null deferredMethod = false methodSignature = null _jspx_th_sui_005fformatDate_005f0.setValue((java.lang.Object) org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl.proprietaryEvaluate("${chdt}", java.lang.Object.class, (javax.servlet.jsp.PageContext)_jspx_page_context, null)); The same source compiled using AdoptOpenJDK, we see this… // /tagUnitTests/sui/formatDate/ testCaliHDateTime1.jsp(20,0) name = value type = java.lang.Object reqTime = true required = true fragment = false deferredValue = false expectedTypeName = null deferredMethod = false methodSignature = null _jspx_th_sui_005fformatDate_005f0.setValue((java.lang.String) org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl.proprietaryEvaluate("${chdt}", java.lang.String.class, (javax.servlet.jsp.PageContext)_jspx_page_context, null)); As a workaround, we’re adding calls to <fmt:parseDate> to convert the String back to a Date. Has anyone run into this? Any ideas we can try to find the root cause?
