Format a date and display it using JSTL and EL

Question

How do I format and display a Date object in a JSP, most preferably using JSTL and EL but any other solution is welcome? I can not change the bean object.

You need to add the following line of code to the head of your page and your code will work perfect. <%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" %>
