Converting Date to String in JSP

[Manoj Paul]

Please help....
wat should i do to convert Date to String in my JSP Page?
Thank you....

[Muhammad Saifuddin]

use Scriptlets(<% [java code] %>)and placing your java code between <% and %>.

[Stefan Evans]

I would suggest the JSTL <fmt:formatDate> tag.
Or do the date formatting in a bean, and just get the property on the page.
The java class to use would be java.text.SimpleDateFormat.

Putting scriptlet code on a jsp page is generally not considered best practice
