Hi,

I've been troubleshooting an intermittent problem in which JSTL fmt:formatDate in a JSP page renders in the raw Date format instead of the intended format.

Since it is an intermittent problem, I decided to "automate" accessing the page using JMeter, instead of clicking reload for the day. :-)

The page is supposed to show a date of the form like "Jul 7, 2004". About once a day, it will show the raw Date format, like "2004-07-07 00:00.0". I'm trying to figure out why it does that. Could be the caching I use, or a problem with the JSTL.

But, the strange thing is when I set up JMeter to hit the page and test the results, it *always* returns the raw Date format. In other words, I expected JMeter to show me that I was getting "Jul 7, 2004" most of the time and I'd be able to find that infrequent occasion in which it gives me the raw Date. Instead, it *always* returns the raw Date.

I don't understand how this happens. JMeter should be getting the same thing I get with a browser, right?

I'd appreciate any help you can give!  Thanks!

Environment:
        Sun Solaris 9
        Tomcat 5.0.19
        JSTL 1.1

Code fragment:
        <fmt:formatDate value="${release}" pattern="MMM dd, yyyy"/>

release is a Date.
