Multiple related questions: 1) I have a java.util.Date field that needs to be displayed in a textbox. In bean:write there are formatting methods to have the date display using a MM/dd/yyyy for example. however I don't see the same for html:text. I'm sure there's a way I'm not seeing... I tried putting the bean:write in between the html:text tags hoping it would render the formatted date but I couldn't write html:text with no property item and using an empty space didn't work.
I was thinking about using a ConvertUtils String and Date conversion methods to only show the format that I wanted in this case but these are static methods and I can say for certain that there will be a case where I would want the Date formatted with the time portion as well. 2) We have an i18n app where the date should be displayed/set as used locally. The ConvertUtils method again would restrict to one date format so what I am thinking for i18n is to populate it into a hidden field (US Format always) and use javascript to do the formatting for the user view and to update the hidden field again so struts only needs to worry about one date format on submit. Seems like a lot of work though, I would think other's have run into this as well. What's the better solution that I'm not seeing? Thanks for your assistance.
