Nice utils, Ted! Thanks for sharing. -----Original Message----- From: Ted Husted [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, May 31, 2003 12:07 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: DateUtilities for ActionForms?
I started a helper class here: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/wqdata/wqdata/src/java/shared /org_apache_commons/util/ (DateDisplay) which you might find helpful as a starting point. It's mainly designed to help move dates back and forth between pulldown fields and/or calendar JavaScripts. It doesn't have a locale field now, but it would be easy to add. Then you As Mark mentioned, the Java classes do everything you need, so it's mainly a matter of wrapping them in a helper class tailored to your needs. -Ted.
