locale specific date format

2003-11-21 Thread Nathan Coast 
Hi

How do I set locale specific date formats?  I tried setting 
org.apache.struts.taglib.bean.format.date with format strings within locale 
specific applicationResources.properties but the format keeps coming out the same

Fri Nov 21 16:46:05 CST 2003

any ideas?

cheers
Nathan

For displaying on a JSP page? You can use JSTL...

fmt:setLocale value='en-US'/
fmt:formatDate value='${dateVariable}'/
or set the pattern based on a locale and then...

fmt:formatDate value='${dateVariable}' pattern='${datePattern}'/

Probably the JSTL Master Kris Schneeder could chime in here with a 
better way. I could be way off.

Schneeder? Hm, sounds familiar, but... Anyway, forgetting JSTL for a second
(gasp!), you're saying you've got something like:

ApplicationResources_en.properties:
dateFormat=...

ApplicationResources_fr.properties:
dateFormat=...

Yes? If so, then maybe this is what you're looking for:

bean:write name=dateObj formatKey=dateFormat/

This will use the current Struts locale, or you can add the locale attribute
to specify the name of a session attribute for the locale you'd prefer.
