Hi John,
I was glad to see this recently discussed on the list. I believe i have all
the puzzle pieces but i'm having trouble fitting them together.
Let me simplify my application with an example.
Using struts and JSP, the struts action retrieves a list of Birthday
objects, where Birthday.java is a a simple pojo with just a “birthdate”
variable of type java.util.Date. This java.util.List is saved to a session
attribute, call it “birthdayView”. So in a very simple way, my template
would scroll through the items in the session object like this:
<vel:velocity>
#foreach ($birthday in $birthdayVIew)
$birthday.birthdate <br>
#end
</vel:velocity>
the code above just prints the unformatted toString() value of
$birthday.birthdate. Obviously, I want it to be formatted.
What I can’t crack is how to use the Date tool IN THE TEMPLATE to format
the string. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks very much
JR
