Question

I have created a helper to parse time froma webservice and output inanother format
using @DateTimeFormat. However in my jsp view this is not formatted. Am I using this wrong?

 @Component
public class DateParserHelper {

    @DateTimeFormat(style="F-")
    public Date getFormattedDate() {
        return formattedDate;
    }


    public void setFormattedDate(Date formattedDate) {

        this.formattedDate = formattedDate;
    }


    public Date formattedDate;

    public void setDate(String date) throws ParseException {

        DateFormatter dateFormatter = new DateFormatter("y-M-d");
        setFormattedDate( dateFormatter.parse(date, UK));

    }





}

If you are using JSTL in your jsp, you could use formatDate to format your date :

<fmt:formatDate value="${yourDate}" pattern="dd/MM/yyyy" />
