I haven't used the DateTool. I have my own Formatter class that formats date
as well as other stuff. A code snippet is as follows:
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
//format a date object to dd/MM/yyyy date string
java.util.Date value = new Date();
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
String dateStr = sdf.format(value)
// format a date string to Date object
String dateStr = "23/09/2004";
Date theDate = null;
try
{
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
sdf.setLenient(false);
theDate = sdf.parse(dateStr);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
// the string is not a date
}

>I'm a Velocity newbie and have not been able to use the DateTool properly. I
understand the methods but have not been successful coding them so they render
properly in the Template. Need to convert a Date object to a string DD/MM/YYYY
for display and convert a String object DD/MM/YYYY to Date object.
