retriving date only from database by using servlets and displaying the result in jsp page

Question

how to retriving the date only not date and time from database by using servlets and how to display the result in jsp page

Answer 1

create a servlet that retrieves the date from the database (with a JDBC driver or similar) and sets it as a request parameter (request.setParameter()), then forward the request using the RequestDispatcher to the JSP file.

The jsp file can then access this parameter with request.getParameter().

Answer 2

When you retrieve the date from a date field in the database you are getting both the date and the time as you noticed. This is not a problem. If you want to display only the date then simply configure the display to do so. Assume that you are using JSTL to display:

 <fmt:formatDate type="date" value="${the date}" dateStyle="short"/>

will display only the date and not the time.
