Date d=new Date(logFile.lastModified());
Alternately, I've got a taglib that allows you to do just this without
resorting to a scriptlet:
<file:lastModified
name="/insidectm/logs/coxdirect/2000/cdcor2000report.htm"
/>
(Assuming that /app/webdocroot is the application directory... you can
also specify absolute filenames, but that's not such a wise idea in my
opinion.)
The taglibrary (JSP 1.1 only, unfortunately) can be downloaded at
http://cupid.suninternet.com/~joeo/filetags-1.1-dev.jar - it also includes
<file:read />, and <file:size />, with more tags scheduled to be written
as I need them. (A roadmap is available at
http://cupid.suninternet.com/~joeo/roadmap.html)
