Use the NumberTool to convert it to a Number, then use the DateTool to convert that to a Date:
#set( $myMillisAsNumber = $number.toNumber($myMillisAsString) ) #set( $myMillisAsDate = $date.toDate($myMillisAsNumber) ) or you can always extend the DateTool and add your own method to do it directly. On 6/20/07, Jason Mansfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, I am trying to format a string that contains a date as a number of milliseconds since 1970 (in text format) in my velocity template. I realise that it should be a long, but in this instance we have to deal with the number being represented as a string. Is there a way of converting the string representation into a date using either DateTools or other Java object methods? Many thanks Jason
