Hi, In fact I'm talking about a java web application using Apache Cocoon framework.
When I instantiate and retrieve from database an Application object, I notice that this releaseDate is stored in a "number of seconds" format. When I display this date, I simply take the value using a XPath expression (application.releaseDate) and put it into the web page. So I thought that I could define the "conversion" format somewhere because this date seems to be converted form a "number of seconds" format to an other format.
