Hmm, it's been years since I used the display: tags, but I think you
could use a decorator for that case - look in the docs for the
display: tags for examples.

Thanks for your quick reply, Larry.
In the jsp, we also use displaytag to display if it's a listing, so not
sure if the <fmt:> tag could fit in, but will give it a try. The
displaytag syntax is as follow:
<display:table id="aList" name="aList" pagesize="25"
requestURI="/shr.gcss">
<display:column property="someDate" title="Some Date" />

Subject: Re: Date format conversion to/from db
Make your beans use java.util.Date.
Use <fmt:*> jsp tags for output.
In your forms, pick a date format, then on the backend, do the
conversion from string to date - spring does most of that for you, IIRC.
