I am using freemarker (jsp should be similar) 
<@s.text name="dateTime" 
value=actionBean.customeDateTimeString(actionBean.dateTime/> 
does not work. I created a method in bean, getCustomDateTimeString() to 
generate the special string. 

BTW, I am trying to go the route of creating a custom DateFormatter. 
How can I reference the action bean/context from within the formatter? 

Thanks

Well that wouldn't really make sense seeing as validation is only converting 
from a request string to an object. once you have the object, its the jsp that 
needs it formatted differently. 

At that point you have the object in your action bean and you want to display 
it a certain way. you have a bunch of options now. you can create a getter that 
does the formatting manually and call that from the jsp. you can use a jsp tag 
to convert it ( most useful if you want certain dates to display differently). 
or if you are using the object as a form parameter, you can register the type 
converter for the class and that's where the auto conversion happens. but now 
you are limited in that all dates are formatted this way. 

In the end if its just for display, a fmt tag is the best route because you can 
use different formats wherever you want. Id argue that's the jsps 
responsibility anyway.
