In what way is it not working? Is it throwing an exception or is it just not displaying in the format that you want?

Since you are trying to display a date, you need to tell Struts how to format the date. Here is how:

In your ApplicationResources.properties file, create a key such as date.format=MM/dd/yy (this can be any valid Java date format)

In your <bean:write tag, specify formatKey="date.format"
