Hi Glenn you're right: req:setAttribute was wrong because it's wrong in the docs http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/datetime-doc/index.html#parse
I also didn't install the request-taglib, which is used in the parse-command. These two things should be mentioned in the documentation ;) OK, but it works now: <req:setAttribute name="pattern2">yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss</req:setAttribute> <dt:parse patternId="pattern2"><%= valueString %></dt:parse><br><br> <dt:format pattern="dd.MM.yyyy"><dt:parse patternId="pattern2"><%= valueString %></dt:parse></dt:format>, <dt:format pattern="kk:mm"><dt:parse patternId="pattern2"><%= valueString %></dt:parse></dt:format> Uhr second line: <%= valueString %> is a string in the date-format from a mySQL-DB, e. g. "2001-01-01 01:05:00" and the output is "978307500000" third line: the parse-tag is enculapsed in the format-tag and the output is "01.01.2001, 01:05 Uhr" Regards, Kay -----Ursprungliche Nachricht----- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Im Auftrag von Glenn Nielsen Gesendet: Dienstag, 16.

It should be: <req:setAttribute name="pattern">yyyy MM dd</req:setAttribute> <dt:parse patternId="pattern">2000 11 15</dt:parse> Other than that, do the examples in the datetime-examples.war work?
