Question

I would to set the datepicker mindate with the tomorrow date (server side, not client side).

I tried this jquery datepicker set minDate and maxDate from jsp with an adding:

<% 
try { 
    Date now = new Date();  
    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();  
    cal.setTime(now);  
    cal.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR, 1); 
    Date tomorrow = cal.getTime(); 
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");

}   catch (Exception e) {
      System.out.println(e.getStackTrace());               
}
%>
<script type="text/javascript">
    var date = '<%=sdf.format(tomorrow) %>'; 

but I obtain both sdf cannot be resolved and tomorrow cannot be resolved exceptions.

I imported both java.util.* and java.text.SimpleDateFormat in the jsp page:

<%@ page import="java.text.SimpleDateFormat" %>
<%@ page import="java.util.*" %>

Answer 1

Can you use the jstl?

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core-rt" prefix="c-rt" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/fmt" prefix="fmt" %>

<c-rt:set var="now" value="<%=new java.util.Date()%>" />

<script type="text/javascript">
    var date = '<fmt:formatDate value="${now}" type="both" timeStyle="long" dateStyle="long" />';
