Hi Is there a way to output localized dates and times from a jsp using the locale from the request object, not using hardcoded DateFormat pattern in the jsp? I want to be able to write things like: <someDateTimeFormtter value="dateObjOnOgnlStack" type="date" dateStyle="SHORT"/> <someDateTimeFormtter value="dateObjOnOgnlStack" type="time" dateStyle="SHORT"/>
The struts <date> tag does use the current locale, but unfortunately it doesn't have type and style attributes, so it always gets both the date and time. JSTL has the <formatDate> tag which does exactly the right thing, but it seems to me that JSTL doesn't fit so well on top of Struts 2 (haven't managed to communicate the Date object from the OGNL stack to the JSTL tag). The Struts cookbook http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/exposing-framework-objects-to-jstl-with-a-jstl-and-displaytag-example.html on the subject doesn't really help me much. An option is to use the struts <text> tag with the Date object as a parameter and the format strings copied into the different resource bundles, but that's obviously not a very attractive solution... I could of course write the tags myself but this really seems like such a common problem that it must be done somewhere already?
