Please make sure you have read the Tag Syntax document and understand how tag attribute syntax works.
Format Date object in different ways.
The date tag will allow you to format a Date in a quick and easy way. You can specify a custom format (eg. “dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm”), you can generate easy readable notations (like “in 2 hours, 14 minutes”), or you can just fall back on a predefined format with key struts.date.format in your properties file.
If that key is not defined, it will finally fall back to the default DateFormat.MEDIUM formatting.
Note: If the requested Date object isn't found on the stack, a blank will be returned.
Configurable attributes are:
Following how the date component will work, depending on the value of nice attribute (which by default is false) and the format attribute.
Condition 1: With nice attribute as true
Condition 2: With nice attribute as false and format attribute is specified eg. dd/MM/yyyyy
In this case the format attribute will be used.
Condition 3: With nice attribute as false and no format attribute is specified
| i18n key | default |
|---|---|
| struts.date.format | if one is not found DateFormat.MEDIUM format will be used |
