An example of using format to display dates would be welcome. You started talking about it but unfortunately the example is only for formatting currencies. Thanks to give me such an example. Denis

• how to use format with dates

  First, I tried to some dates "the struts-way" self referencing the session in the session by putting
  session.setAttribute("thisSess", session);
  
  This would great because I can always see what my session is doing.
  The drawback that the time was formatted in milliseconds since 1970. So, I tried to use the struts "format" attribute, but the below 'format="HH:mm:ss"' unfortunately was useless
  
  <<Logged in since <bean:write name="thisSess"
  property="creationTime" filter="true" format="HH:mm:ss" />, last access: <bean:write
  name="thisSess" property="lastAccessedTime"
  filter="true" format="HH:mm:ss" />, max inactive interval: <bean:write name="thisSess"
  property="maxInactiveInterval" filter="true" format="HH:mm:ss" />
  
  so, I ended up doint it as
  <<
  <%
  java.text.SimpleDateFormat df = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
  String lastAccessTime = df.format(new java.sql.Date(session.getLastAccessedTime()));
  String sessCreateTime = df.format(new java.sql.Date(session.getCreationTime()));
  String maxInactiveInterval = Integer.toString(session.getMaxInactiveInterval());
  
  pageContext.setAttribute("lastAccessTime", lastAccessTime);
  pageContext.setAttribute("sessCreateTime", sessCreateTime);
  pageContext.setAttribute("maxInactiveInterval", maxInactiveInterval);
  %><bean:write name="lastAccessTime" filter="true" />, lastAccess: <bean:write name="lastAccessTime"
  filter="true" />, maxInactive: <bean:write name="maxInactiveInterval"
  filter="true" />sec
  >>
  
  if anybody knows how to do it purely in struts, please let me know at hauser@acm.org

  You can use Jakarta DateTime TagLib. Information located here. http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/datetime-doc/datetime-1.0/index.html
  
  With the Date Time Taglib, you can implement what you want like this:
  
  Logged in Since: <dt:format pattern="HH:mm:ss" locale="true"><bean:write name="thisSess" property="creationTime"></dt:format>,
  Last access: <dt:format pattern="HH:mm:ss" locale="true"><bean:write name="thisSess" property="lastAccessedTime" /></dt:format>,
  Max inactive interval: <dt:format pattern="HH:mm:ss" locale="true"><bean:write name="thisSess" property="maxInactiveInterval" /></dt:format>
