Hi Christian, These comments apply to Cocoon 2, but the generated java code checks for a null value and returns "", otherwise it uses the SimpleDateFormat to convert the date. You might look at your generated code to see if it is doing the same thing. Maybe this was added for Cocoon 2. Anyway, if it isn't doing the right thing, you can get hold of the stuff from 2 and put that into your code, either add it to your esql.xsl or simply use <xsp:logic> in your xsp file, within your <esql:row-results> to fetch the date, test for null and format, as required, just like the Cocoon 2 code! Look at the esql.xsl and there should be some esql samples that do this sort of thing.
