Assuming you are using the XSP with Java, this gets translated into String.valueOf(new Date()) which in turn does nothing more than (new Date()).toString(). If you want this to be a localized String you have to call SimpleDateFormat.format(new Date()). This way you can also have a different Locale for each User (which is probably what you want). > Thanks for any clue. > > Barbara > Jens -- jens.lorenz at interface-projects dot de interface:projects GmbH \\|// Tolkewitzer Strasse 49 (o o) 01277 Dresden ~~~~oOOo~(_)~oOOo~~~~ Germany --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. <http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faq/index.html> To unsubscribe, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
