Hello Alex,
Some time ago I write FormatTag inherited from WriteTag. It contains
logic to support i18n for Date and Number objects and additionally
format string can be added to tag parameters. For example -
<bean:format name="mybean" property="numberPrp" format="##.##" />
<bean:format name="mybean" property="datePrp" format="yyyy.MM.dd" />
And without format parameter it use current locale from session
attribute ( name in org.apache.struts.Action.LOCALE_KEY ) to convert
Date and Number objects to String.
