I am trying to format a date with:
<fmt:formatDate value="${newsletter.createdOn}" pattern="MM/dd/yyyy"/>
newsletter is an object with a createdOn
property which is java.util.Date
.
When I invoke the previous sentence I get:
According to the TLD, the attribute value does not accept expressions.
I am importing fmt with
<%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/fmt" %>
Does anyone know how can I work around this problem?
I am using the jstl.jar coming with tomcat.
Under jstl.jar/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF stays:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
