Formatting Dates in jsp

I want to format my dates inside a jsp page, which are all in yyyy-mm-dd format currently, to look like mm/dd/yyyy. Is there a way to do it? the fmt tag only seems to do extremely simple formatting (aka full, medium, etc, not real formatting).

Yawmark must be pining away for code likeUDateFormat* df = udat_open(UCAL_DEFAULT, UCAL_DEFAULT, NULL, "GMT", &status);
for (i = 0; i < 3; ++i) {
  myStrlen = udat_format(df, myDateArr, NULL, myStrlen, NULL, &status);
if(status==U_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_ERROR){
status=U_ZERO_ERROR;
myString=(UChar*)malloc(sizeof(UChar) * (myStrlen+1) );
udat_format(df, myDateArr[i], myString, myStrlen+1, NULL, &status);
printf("%s\n", austrdup(myString) );
/* austrdup( a function used to convert UChar* to char*) */
free(myString);

    MM/DD/YYYY
    DD/MM/YYYY
    etc...
    thinks like that any link o read?...

    Use JSTL tag as below ...

    <jsp:useBean id="now" class="java.util.Date" />
    <fmt:setLocale value="en_GB"/>

  • How to download data in xml format from a jsp in IE

    In my program, I am trying to download xml data from jsp. The problem I am facing is that the downloaded page opens in the browser itself. I want it to open in a new page. The same code works fine with csv and pdf format.

    Hello
    I am using a link that calls a javascript function. To show the file download box, I have used setContentType and setHeader functions in the jsp. Thanks.

  • Formatting data in table - jsp & jdbc

    Hey there friends!
    I was having a little problem formatting data and I was looking for help!
    I want to format the data from jdbc as follows on a jsp page
    THIS IS REPORT TO GENERATE
    Name | Worked | Refused | Training | CarryOver
    Jim | 10 | 5 | 2 | 5
    Bob | 20 | 5 | 10 |
    The resultset that I retrieve from my database is like this
    RESULTSET
    ID | Name | Type | Hours | CarryOver
    1 | Jim | Worked | 10 | 5
    1 | Jim | Refused | 5 | 5
    1 | Jim | Training | 10 | 5
    2 | Bob | Worked | 20 | 10
    2 | Bob | Training | 5 | 10
    Can anyone suggest what can be a done here?

    As you have learnt something it is only fair for me for reciprocate.
    The code example I gave you was psuedocode - not real java. You need to add in a couple more things to make it work correctly.
    First we want to create an entry in the hash, iff there is no record already there, otherwise, we want to get the value and add our new value to it (let's say the map is called map):
    String key = record.name + "/" + record.type;  // Using combination string as the key - simplest solution
    Long hours = map.get(key);
    if (hours == null) {
       hours = new Long(record.hours);
    } else {
       hours = new Long(hours.getValue() + record.hours);
    map.put(key, hours);It would be better to use your own class to hold the long value - as this would save all the construction calls.

  • How to print formated data/report on client's printer (Web Application)

    Hi All
    I want to print some formatted data/report ( it might be 1000 pages) on user's printer.
    Application is web based
    Technology used are Java - jsp - servlets
    i want functionality like...
    when user click on print button/link, data is fetched from server and all pages (it is formated data so i want alignment on page while printing) should be printed one after another.
    Also printer selection dialog should displayed one time when user click on print button/link.
    Questions:
    1. How i will transfer all data to client (web browser) from the server ??
    2. And how i can print that data on user's printer ??
    There is requirement (or limitation) that I can not use applet for this purpose.
    And also it is not fix that we must use java tech., we can use any othere tech. but condition is that it must support multiple platform (in short platform indipendant)
    There is solution like ...
    I can use window.print() function of DOM/JavaScript,
    but it prints only one page which is displayed on browser.
    I don't want to display any page. and want to print all pages.
    if any one done or have idea then let me know.
    Thanks in Adv.
    Shailesh Koradiya

    thanks linxpda for reply,
    we can use ActiveX component for windows platform for printing purpose, same way we can use platform specific component for printing... (for linux, unix, sun solaris etc...)
    if it is possible then let me inform.
    Thanks,

    Hi
    Its simple, first of all break ur data in terms of pages. Write the logic in one JSP.
    suppose i have jsp PrintReport.jsp , for page 1 url will PrintReport.jsp?page=0 ... so on
    get the page parameter in JSP
    String page="";
    if(request.getParameter("page")!=null)
    page=request.getParameter("page");
    get the rowcount from the Result and assume records per page is 100
    if u have 1000 rows then 10 pages u have to serve
    StartRowNumber=page*recordsPerPage
    EndRowNumber=StartRowNumber+recordsPerPage
    Execute a SQL query , select * from table where rownum between
    StartRowNumber and EndRowNumber
    Provide google like pageNumbers in ur HTML page
    ie 1 2 3 4 5 6 ..10
    Regarding printing , Create HTML button called 'print' and add Javascript ' window.print()' on clicking it.
    Hope it would solve ur problem
    Cheers

    One way to convert the jsp page to excel, is to render it as an excel appl instead of html. Set the content type of the response to application/ms-excel.
    response.setContentType("application/ms-excel")Hope this Helps....

  • Dates in JSP page

  • Format Dates

    Hi all,
    JDEV IDE: Oracle IDE     9.0.3.9.93
    I made a simple business component.
    I tried to set the format of a date attribute in the Entity object and also in the View object.
    I double clicked the attribute in structure window, changed Format Type in Control Hints tab to
    "Simple Date" and Format to "dd-MM-yyyy" but running the tester or a JSP Page(BC4J) based on that component nothing changes. The format remains "yyyy-MM-dd".
    What is the best approach to format Dates, Currencies and others in BC4J /JSP projects?
    Thanks in advance
    Email: [email protected]
    Jan Hultermans

    Try the following:
    1. remove the formatting hint from the view object
    2. setup the formatting on the entity object.
    We recently fixed a bug in the view object formatting support. You workaround will be fine, but it is not the recommended approach since you will have to repeat the SQL changes for each view object that requires formatting. It will also break when a different locale comes in via the browser's http request parameters.

  • Open a new window with data in jsp

    Hi,
    I am an absolute beginner.
    I get data from DB in a pipe seperated string
    retval = abc|123|xyz|999
    I need to open a new window and populate the data in it.
    1. How do i open a new window
    2. How do i pass data to the new window
    3. How can i display the formatted data in the new window

    response.sendRedirect("newwindowurl.jsp?arg=" + retval);
    This will direct users to a new window and pass the retval arg to it. On the other window, use request.getAttribute("retval"); to get the value passed in.

  • How to Hightlight the Data in Jsp Page

    How to Hightlight the Data in Jsp Page,
    I am doing doing search page,based on values given search page those are sent to servlet,in servlet based on some conditions if particuler id i am getting then i am redirecting to Respective jsp page with highlight the data from database..
    Thanks in advance...

    "Highlighting data in JSP sounds strange".
    Without looking at your search specific algorithms I feel you are finally going to display a page (HTML content) to user which contains highlighted text. Highlighting is not directly related to server side language you use (JSP, ASP, PHP etc.). This is purely HTML and CSS. However, server side script (such as JSP) should generate HTML content for getting highlight effect.
    Following HTML shows highlighted text using background-color property on span element.
    <html>
      <head>
        <title></title>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
      </head>
      <body>
          <p style="font-size:1.1em">This is a long paragraph which contains <span style="background-color: yellow;">highlighted text</span> and non highlighted text.</p>
      </body>
    </html>Thanks,

  • Error When Refresh Formatted Data inside Excel Analyzer

    I have build a Excel template and load up this to the BI Publisher Server. When I call this template after the log in works fine. When I refresh the data normal it works also fine, but when I try to refresh formatted Data I get the error "Error: This report does not support HTML as an output format." I will not use html output inside Excel, I will use the original Excel template with refreshed data.

    Hi Tim,
    The Refresh Formatted Data works on MS Excel 2003.
    May need to check if its really supported on MS Office 2002.
    Btw another question, is it possible to create an excel template without using Excel Analyzer?
    Also when I used the generated excel file of Excel Analyzer as template, when the report is generated the data sheet sometimes is not filled with correct data or sometimes there is no data at all, even if the parameters used is the same as the one used in generating the original excel file using Excel Analyzer. This happens most of the time for reports with Concatenated Queries or SQL Queries using "CURSOR" to group a set of data. Note that on initial generation of excel file using Excel Analyzer, correct set of data is displayed. It is only when it is used as template and viewed/exported in Excel format that data is not properly loaded.
    Please advise.
    Thanks!

  • How to use many format data into a template?

    How to design a template but it can interface from many format data? 

    This is the one from 2010 but should still work.
    http://www.bfcnetworks.com/blogs/alexpearce/pull-sharepoint-2010-document-properties-into-word-quick-parts/
     You basically create a new document in the library (must have the columns you want into the word document), then you use the Quick
    Parts to insert the data where needed. Then you save this document as your template. Then anytime someone creates a document in the library when you open the document it will read from the columns of the item.
    I used a workflow and had the users actually update a SharePoint list, then that in turn creates a new document in the document library and populate the columns from the list form. Then You can send that document link to folks to download / print or whatever.
    Is that what you are talking about?
