I tried it but got no luck. I think the pattern attrib of formatDate only
takes in literal strings in form of mm/dd/ or something like that.
fmt:message key=${conf.dateformat.long} var=DateFormatMaskfmt:formatDate
pattern=${DateFormatMask} value=${Company.membershipStartDate}
//fmt:message
Am i doing something wrong there?

I'd say there's two approaches to dealing with this. In the scope of
just this issue, I think bean:write is just a little more convenient,
but there may be other considerations.
One way would be to read in your properties file in an action and put
them into application scope. That's probably overkill just to get the
format keys easily available.
Another way would be to use fmt:message, referencing the property key,
and placing the result into a variable. Then, use that variable in the
fmt:formatDate tag, for the pattern attribute. If you have a small
number of these, and you reference it in several places, this is
probably a good approach.

Subject: Slightly Off topic: JSTL vs Bean tags w/ message resources
Hi,
Got a slightly OT question. I want to put a date format mask
in a properties file and format dates with this key in my
presentation jsp. I can do this with struts bean tags but
seeming have to hard code it into the jstl tags. Both
approaches work but i would like to know if anyone has a way
to make the properties driven format masking work in jstl.
Bean:
bean:write name=Performance property=performanceDate
formatKey=conf.dateformat.long /
JSTL:
fmt:formatDate pattern=MM/dd/
value=${Company.membershipStartDate} /
thanks
