You might be better of just using SQL's date functions instead of trying to
get your JSP to do this task.  Here is an example from PostgreSql.  It is
probably similiar for other databases:
~
postgres=# select current_date;
    date
------------
 2001-07-30
(1 row)

postgres=# select current_date - 2;
  ?column?
------------
 2001-07-28
(1 row)

postgres=# select current_date + 7;
  ?column?
------------
 2001-08-06
(1 row)

Subject: Date functions


Hello.

I am using the dbtags taglib in an application I'm working on.  I need to
take today's date and create a range from it (ie. two days before today and
seven days after) for use in my sql statements.  Are there any plans for a
function in the Datetime taglib to take a java.util.Date() and subtract and
add days, etc?
