Re: [Q] Struts and date formatters

[Joe Germuska]

Somewhere between 1.0 and 1.1, the "format" attribute was added to 
the <bean:write> tag.  You can specify a format string and it will 
apply the format to the underlying object.  The tag has internal 
logic which determines which kind of formatter to create, but 
basically if your object is a Date, it will use a SimpleDateFormatter:

http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/struts-bean.html#write

There's no global change you can make here, besides subclassing 
java.util.Date and overriding the toString() method.

I have tried to do:

DateFormdat df = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance();
SimpleDateFormat sdf = (SimpleDateFormat)df;
sdf.applyPattern("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm");
But it gets ignored.... how/where can I change the
default pattern that struts uses to format dates with?
Thanks.
