RE: [Q] Struts and date formatters
Well the other way is what you are doing already except instead of
attaching the bean as a date attach it as a preformatted string. Using
the same SimpleDateFormat.
The reason you are getting your strangely formatted string is because
JSP does yourBean.toString () hence the behavior you are seeing.

RE: [Q] Struts and date formatters
just replace the bean:write with your fmt:formatDate like so:
logic:iterate id=employee name=listOfEmployees
fmt:formatDate value=${employee.birthdate} pattern=-MM-dd HH:mm

RE: [Q] Struts and date formatters
There is a struts way of doing it (at least, I think, it's the struts
way). You just have to declare the parameter of your bean as a java.util.Date and
have a property named org.apache.struts.taglib.bean.format.date in your
standard properties file, e.g.
org.apache.struts.taglib.bean.format.date=dd.MM.yy. The same works for numbers, too.
You can also specify your own property by
using the formatKey-Property of the bean:write-Tag
(http://localhost:8080/struts-documentation/userGuide/struts-bean.html#write)
Björn
OK, thanks, I'll look into it.
I was hoping for a default struts way to do it, but it
seems I have to do it by hand.

It was introduced during the development of Struts 1.1. The Struts
development team took great pains to ensure backwards compatibility,
and you can probably upgrade to 1.1 with very little (or no) changes
to your code.
Otherwise, you'll have to go along with what some other people
suggested and instead of displaying the date directly, reference an
accessor of a bean which returns a formatted date string.
You can actually subvert the MappedProperty syntax and make a method
to which you pass in a date format -- I did this on a project before
switching to Struts 1.1. Do something like this:
public class DateWrapper {
private java.util.Date date = null;
public DateWrapper (java.util.Date date)
{
this.date = date;
}
public String getFormattedDate(String format)
{
// typical code to use SimpleDateFormat with the given string
// and the 'date' property
}
}
Then in your action:
request.setAttribute(wrapper, new DateWrapper(date));
Then in your page
bean:write name=wrapper property=formattedDate(-MM-dd) /
Or something more or less like this (i.e. I wrote the above for this
email; I didn't copy it from working code).
Of course instead of writing a DateWrapper class you could just add
the getFormattedDate method to some bean which has a date property.
But really, you're better off switching to Struts 1.1. Why wouldn't you?

Re: [Q] Struts and date formatters
Somewhere between 1.0 and 1.1, the format attribute was added to the bean:write tag. You can specify a format string and it will apply the format to the underlying object. The tag has internal logic which determines which kind of formatter to create, but basically if your object is a Date, it will use a SimpleDateFormatter: http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/struts-bean.html#write There's no global change you can make here, besides subclassing java.util.Date and overriding the toString() method.

RE: [Q] Struts and date formatters
You could think of it as a business logic function and do it (the
date/String conversion)in the middle tier and pass it to the view already to
go. It seems like the date format would be the same if you were printing it
to a JSP page or a Swing GUI. If you ever had to support two or more front
end types then you wouldn't have to change the format in multiple places
because it would be sent to the view as it would be displayed.
Just a thought since I am working on, for the first time, a project which
actually has a Web part and a Swing part and many components are shared (at
least I am trying, others here are not so into sharing :)

RE: [Q] Struts and date formatters
It is/was a known bug for WL 6.1 sp2. If you like more info on it, do a google search for CR064391. A patch was realeased for this bug (CR064391_610sp2.jar) and it is fixed as of sp3. But we cannot upgrade or install patched, for a number of reasons. So, if you use WL 6.1 sp2 without patches, you are limited with the number of jars you import. In particular, the total length of the names of all the jars (and sub-jars they use) cannot exceed 80 characters. --- Joe Germuska [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: At 7:05 -0700 8/6/03, Riaan Oberholzer wrote: I cannot switch to Sturts 1.1 because I use BEA WebLogic 6.1sp2 and a known WL bug limits the number of total jars you can use in an application to a collective name length of 80 characters. :( Same reason why I also cannot use JSTL.

OK, thanks, I'll look into it.

The reason you are getting your strangely

you
are seeing.

RE: [Q] Struts and date formatters
I cannot switch to Sturts 1.1 because I use BEA
WebLogic 6.1sp2 and a known WL bug limits the number
of total jars you can use in an application to a
collective name length of 80 characters. :( Same
reason why I also cannot use JSTL.
Since struts 1.1 imports a few more new jars, I exceed
the limit and the app doesn't work anymore.
But I have found enough suggestions and hints from all
of you to implement a suitable workaround, thank you!
For other projects not using WL 6.1sp2, I have already
upgraded to Struts 1.1. Haven't done the date thing
there yet, as I do it with JSTL there.

It was introduced during the development of Struts
1.1. The Struts
development team took great pains to ensure
backwards compatibility,
and you can probably upgrade to 1.1 with very little
(or no) changes
to your code.
Otherwise, you'll have to go along with what some
other people
suggested and instead of displaying the date
directly, reference an
accessor of a bean which returns a formatted date
string.
You can actually subvert the MappedProperty syntax
and make a method
to which you pass in a date format -- I did this on
a project before
switching to Struts 1.1. Do something like this:
public class DateWrapper {
private java.util.Date date = null;
public DateWrapper (java.util.Date date)
{
this.date = date;
}
public String getFormattedDate(String format)
{
// typical code to use SimpleDateFormat with the
given string
// and the 'date' property
}
}
Then in your action:
request.setAttribute(wrapper, new
DateWrapper(date));
Then in your page
bean:write name=wrapper
property=formattedDate(-MM-dd) /
Or something more or less like this (i.e. I wrote
the above for this
email; I didn't copy it from working code).
Of course instead of writing a DateWrapper class you
could just add
the getFormattedDate method to some bean which has a
date property.
But really, you're better off switching to Struts
1.1. Why wouldn't you?
