If you are using Struts 1.1 then you can use the formatKey attribute of the tag
formatKey="format.date.long" with a key in you properties file as such: format.date.long=EEEE MMMM d, yyyy ** I think this only works if you are putting Date or Timestamp to the page. If not 1.1 then I guess you could a helper method is the form bean that formats the date called String getDateFormatted() ..

How can I change it to " Fri Aug 24 02 23:42 " using struts tag? Thank you for your help. Cathy --------------------------------- Post your free ad now! Yahoo!
