I was trying to extrapolate from this: http://wiki.apache.org/tapestry/Tapestry5HowToFormatDateTimeEtc Really, I wasn't hopeful it would work so much as provide an example for what I'm trying to accomplish. > The simple solution is to provide a getter for the formatted date String. This is the exact thing I am trying to avoid. Our development team has dozens of formatted strings scattered through Java and every time a design change requires a small formatting alteration we have to rebuild the application. I am not a tapestry expert, but I'm trying to steer our team away from embedding style and formatting in Java code and instead make it easily customisable in the tml files. In Rails, I'd do this no matter whether this was in an element or attribute: <%= someDate.strftime("%m/%d/%Y") %> In Spring/jstl I think there is <fmt:formatDate>.
