Okay so here's a cut 'n paste of text from a BBS where I was looking
for some help with this... It explains a little more thoroughly what
I've tried to do to get this working, as well as the point that I
don't know nearly enough about JSP/Java interaction yet. :(
-=-=-=-=-=-
Instantiate a DateFormat object df, then myDate = df.parse(myString)?
Sry, I know that's on the page. 's all I got.

Well after including java.text.Dateformat the following code is not
working
from within the jsp:
<%
inDate =
java.text.DateFormat.parse(param.timeIn);
outDate =
java.text.DateFormat.parse(param.timeOut);
%>
ouah ouah ouah
*feels eyelids grow heavy*

Okay my guess at this point is that I have to use a
<jsp:useBean id="ouah" class="java.text.DateFormat" scope="page" />
to instantiate DateFormat into something that I can use... then it
will
probably be some sort of
<jsp:setProperty name="ouah" property=??? value=???>
to invoke the formatting on my string... I don't really have a clue
what goes
in property, but I can probably find that in the class methods... Now
that I
think about it it should be "parse" I would assume, and value should
have my
"${whatever}" holding the string that I want to format.
I do not have a clue if I'm right, though. And if I'm right I don't
have a
clue on how to access the results unless they'd be
ouah.hours, .minutes, etc...

java.text.DateFormat is completely unknown to my tomcat6
java.text.SimpleDateFormat is found, and seems alright until it tries
to
execute the block of code that my parse testing is in
tomcat logs vomit this:
ug 28, 2008 4:08:16 PM org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationDispatcher
invoke
SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Cannot find any information on
property
'parse' in a bean of type 'java.text.SimpleDateFormat'
from my code of:
<jsp:useBean id="fmtDate" class="java.text.SimpleDateFormat"
scope="page" />
.. . . .
<%-- debugging --%>
<jsp:setProperty name="fmtDate" property="parse" value="$
(param.timeIn}" />
<%-- done debugging --%>

Hope this gives more of a clue of where I'm at...
TIA for any advice you can give or pointers in the right direction.
