<fmt:parseDate pattern> problem

[amarshi mohanty]

Hi,

I need to display the date and time in yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm format.
So i am using

   

<fmt:parseDate var="startDate" value="${requestScope.docDate}" pattern="yyyy-mm-dd HH:mm"
dateStyle="short" timeStyle="short" />
 <date:date value='<c:out value="${startDate}"/>' />  

 

but i am getting:2014-05-13 18:00:16
i don't need the millisecond part...

please suggest.

Thanks
Amarshi

m == minute not month

You can't use <c:out> as the attribute of another tag. just use the EL expression.
