How to display a formatted DateTime in Spring MVC 3.0?

Question

I have a Joda-DateTime field in my model and want to display it formatted in a JSP view. I have annotated it with the new @DateTimeFormat annotation:

public          


        

Answer 1

Because its a joda datetime object, and not a Date object, you will have to write your own formatting function or a custom tag.

If you can convert it to java.util.Date somehow, then you can use the built in jstl's fmt taglibrary.

But the latest jsp quickly allows you to create custom tags.
