How to parse date in JSP?
The <fmt:parseDate> tag is used to parse dates.
Attribute
The <fmt:parseDate> tag has the following attributes −
| Attribute | Description | Required | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | Date value to read (parse) | No | Body |
| type | DATE, TIME, or BOTH | No | date |
| dateStyle | FULL, LONG, MEDIUM, SHORT, or DEFAULT | No | Default |
| timeStyle | FULL, LONG, MEDIUM, SHORT, or DEFAULT | No | Default |
| parseLocale | Locale to use when parsing the date | No | Default locale |
| pattern | Custom parsing pattern | No | None |
| timeZone | Time zone of the parsed date | No | Default time zone |
| var | Name of the variable to store the parsed date | No | Print to page |
| scope | Scope of the variable to store the formatted date | No | page |
A pattern attribute is provided that works just like the pattern attribute for the <fmt:formatDate> tag. However, in the case of parsing, the pattern attribute tells the parser what format to expect.
Example
<%@ taglib prefix = "c" uri = "http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
<%@ taglib prefix = "fmt" uri = "http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" %>
<html>
<head>
<title>JSTL fmt:parseDate Tag</title>
</head>
<body>
<h3>Date Parsing:</h3>
<c:set var = "now" value = "20-10-2010" />
<fmt:parseDate value = "${now}" var = "parsedEmpDate" pattern = "dd-MM-yyyy" />
<p>Parsed Date: <c:out value = "${parsedEmpDate}" /></p>
</body>
</html>The above code will generate the following result −
Date Parsing: Parsed Date: Wed Oct 20 00:00:00 GST 2010
