There is a "struts way" of doing it (at least, I think, it's the struts way). You just have to declare the parameter of your bean as a java.util.Date and have a property named org.apache.struts.taglib.bean.format.date in your standard properties file, e.g. org.apache.struts.taglib.bean.format.date=dd.MM.yy. The same works for numbers, too. You can also specify your own property by using the formatKey-Property of the bean:write-Tag (http://localhost:8080/struts-documentation/userGuide/struts-bean.html#write)
