Hi:
I am experiencing some unexpected behavior with the Struts2 <s:param> tag when
using it with date values. When I try to use an <s:param> tag within <s:url> to
pass a date argument, the date is not output in the DateFormat.SHORT format,
resulting in a type conversion error on submission.
For example, these struts tags:
<s:url id="anchorUrl" namespace="/experiment" action="go" escapeAmp="true">
<s:param name="inDate" value="inDate"/>
</s:url>
<s:a href="%{anchorUrl}" id="go">Click this here...</s:a>
produce this output:
<a id="go"
href="/EXP/experiment/go.action?inDate=Thu+Apr+12+21%3A52%3A30+EDT+2012">Click
this here...</a>
With HTML escaping removed, the result is "Fri Apr 13 12:31:00 EDT 2012", a
format that nests the time inside the date.
Unsurprisingly, this is causing a type conversion error when submitted to the
Action class. I'm perplexed -- could I be misunderstanding the tags' usage, and
this the expected behavior? Or might this be a bug, perhaps?
Many thanks,
Scott Williams
