<html>
   <head>
      <title>JSTL fmt:setTimeZone Tag</title>
   </head>
   <body>
      <c:set var = "now" value = "<%=new java.util.Date()%>" />
      <p>Date in Current Zone: <fmt:formatDate value = "${now}" type = "both" timeStyle = "long" dateStyle = "long" /></p>
      <p>Change Time Zone to GMT-8</p>
