Re: formatting attributes
If you really want this feature then you can write a custom binding prefix.
It can work exactly as you want
I'm trying to steer our team away from embedding style and formatting in
Java code
Well, you need to either do it in the template or in the Java code. Both
the template and the component class are for presentation logic so I don't
see a problem putting it there. The added benefit is its easier to test.
Horses for courses I guess...

In Spring/jstl I think there is fmt:formatDate.

Re: formatting attributes
Why not specify the format to use in the i18n properties file for the template?
Then your java code can read in the date string from he property file. Tapestry
makes this über simple, just inject the Messages object (see
http://tapestry.apache.org/current/apidocs/org/apache/tapestry5/ioc/Messages.html).
Then you can have different formatting for different locales automatically,
you can change the format without a recompile/rebuild, etc.

The original poster didn't describe what he meant by not work. Guys,
please avoid saying something doesn't work without further details. It's
too vague.
What I guess is the problem with the template snipped above is the lack of
a 'format' binding prefix. There's an easy solution, which is even more
recommended because it doesn't put logic in the template:
content=${formattedDate}
public String getFormattedDate() {
return // whatever you want.
}

Re: formatting attributes
What about a component like this:
public class DateFormatter
{
@Inject private Messages _messages;
@Parameter(required = true, defaultPrefix = prop) private Date _date;
@Parameter(required = false, defaultPrefix = literal) private
String _format;
boolean beginRender(final MarkupWriter writer)
{
if (null != _date) {
try {
if (null == _format) {
_format = -MM-dd hh:mm:ss;
}
final SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(_format);
writer.writeRaw(sdf.format(_date));
} catch (final Exception e) {
writer.writeRaw(_date.toString());
}
}
return false;
}
}
Usage in TML:
t:DateFormatter date=yourDateMemberHere format=${message:format_TIME}/
Using message allows you to configure it easily without hardcoding it.
Therefore in your global message catalog you can define:
App_de.properties:
...
format_DATE_TIME = dd.MM. - HH:mm:ss
format_DATE = dd.MM.
format_TIME = HH:mm:ss
...
In the example above your date will only render the time portion

Can't you create a getter in your page to return what you need?
