formatting dates in Grails

Question

I have a domain class in Grails with a field journeyDate. journeyDate is defined like this:-

Date journeyDate

then in my list.gsp I display the date like this:-

${fieldValue(bean:journeyInstance, field:'journeyDate')}

And it is displayed in the following format:-

2009-08-19 17:12:00.0

does anyone know how I can format this on the list.gsp so that it doesn't display the seconds? (I don't want to change the way it is stored in the database)

Answer 1

Have you looked at the date format tag?

Answer 2

Use

${fieldValue(bean:journeyInstance, field:'journeyDate').format("dd MM, yyyy")}
