Jstl fmt:formatDate problem

Hi everyone,
I have been spending a lot of time on this "simple" issue and i hope someone is able to help. All i want to do is simple format a date and display it correctly.
This is jsp page:

OK.
1) Declare web.xml as Servlet 2.5. Tomcat supports it. Servlet 2.3 is legacy. Replace your DOCTYPE thing by:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
    xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
    id="WebApp_ID"
    version="2.5">
    
</web-app>2) Remove all loose JSTL tld files from your classpath. Those are already included in the JSTL JAR file.
3) Remove the TLD declarations from your web.xml. Those are already declared in the JSTL JAR's web.xml.
4) I recommend to remove the JSTL and Standard JAR's and use JSTL 1.2 instead: [jstl-1.2.jar|https://maven-repository.dev.java.net/repository/jstl/jars/]. Just place it in the classpath (YourWebApp/WEB-INF/lib or Tomcat/lib) and declare the @taglib in your JSP to use it. Nothing more, nothing less. Do not extract the JAR and duplicate the stuff everywhere.

Problem: Localisation with JSTL FMT and Struts

Hello!
I am working on my first project with JSP / Servlets including JSTL and Struts Tag Libraries.(plus tiles from JSTL)
I am trying to use localised messages, to deploy a webshop in multiplle languages.
I allready managed to accomplish that the messages are read out of a file ApplicationResources.en.properties and another one ApplicationResources.de.properties which will be chosen by the preferences of the browser (JSTL FMT:message tag).
The strange this is, this only works the first time the servlets are compiled. After I opened the servlet once in my browser, I am allways seeing the message in that language that was used first, even if I set the the locale trough a link in the URL. I am using this code:
http://localhost:8080/Inkrement18/buchladenseite.jsp?lang=en
<c:if test='${param.lang == "de"}'>
DE <fmt:setLocale value="de" scope="session" />
<fmt:setBundle basename="ApplicationResources" scope="session" />
</c:if>
<c:if test='${param.lang == "en"}'>
EN <fmt:setLocale value="en" scope="session" />
<fmt:setBundle basename="ApplicationResources" scope="session" />
</c:if>It seems to me, the servlet is compiled once, and afterwards the locale does not get checked anymore. Is that possible?
When I delete the compiled servlets from the work directory by hand, my link to change the locale manually works once, till I delete the servlets again (the session does not get killed by deleting the servlets!)
My webserver is Jakarta Tomcat 5.5.9 and IDE Is eclipse.
I am not sure if it matters here, but the main page consists of 4 parts like banner, menu, main-page, footer which gets assembled trough "tiles".
Most submenues like shopping basket / catalogue are action servlets, realised with struts, calling another .jsp page by forward.
Any ideas are really apreciated - I have no idea where to look for the error!
If you need any more input from my side, please let me know!
Best regards
Jan

Hey Experts!
Nobofy has a clue on this? I have really no clue where to start to look for the problem...

JSTL fmt:param tag question

<%@taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/fmt" prefix="fmt"%>
<fmt:message key="result_display">
<fmt:param value="${resultBean.sourceNumber}"/>
<fmt:param value="${resultBean.resultValue}"/>
</fmt:message>
As far as I can tell, the "value" attribute of the <fmt:param> tag is capable of taking an EL. And yet, the code above does not compile. I get the error message "According to TLD or attribute directive in tag file, attribute value does not accept any expressions". If I use the <fmt_rt:param> tag, everything works fine. Am I reading the spec wrong?

You're not reading the spec wrong, but I think you are using the wrong version of JSTL. Are you using Tomcat 5? (Or another JSP2.0 container?)
If so, you should be using JSTL1.1
It has a uri of "http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt"
Note the extra /jsp in there.
Tomcat 5 treats ${ } as runtime expressions. To a JSP2.0 container, they ARE runtime expressions. Thus in JSTL 1.1, the fmt:param tag does accept runtime expressions.
In JSTL1.0 because the ${ } expressions WEREN'T understood by the container, they made the tags so as not to accept runtime expressions, and called their custom evaluator.
You are using the 1.0 uri, which specifies that it doesn't accept runtime expressions. It is complaining that ${ } is a runtime expression - so you must be using a JSP2.0 container.
In short: You probably have a JSP2.0 container, and should be using JSTL1.1 uri: <%@taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" prefix="fmt"%>

JSTL fmt:setBundle and JSF

I am converting the code and JSP pages I had from jsf ea4 to jsf rel 1
My bundle is Labels.properties (.properties file)
Now, my JSTL fmt:setBundle is not recognized . My jsp code is:
<%@ taglib prefix="h" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="f" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/fmt" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-faces"%>
<fmt:setBundle basename="Labels" scope="session" var="labelsBundle"/>
<f:view>
<s:html locale="true">
     <head>
     <title><fmt:message bundle="${labelsBundle}" key="form.heading.login"/></title>
     <s:base/>
     <link href="style/wless.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
     </head>
     <body>

     <stf:form action="/listProjectTasks.do" method="post" focus="loginID" >
<h:output_text value="#{labelsBundle.label.login.loginID}" />
I get the following exception:
There has been an unspecified exception (javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Illegal Model Reference in this context for expression 'labelsBundle.label.login.loginID'.)!
This used to work in ea4 when I had the key/bundle attributes.
How can I access my properties file at sessionScope using the #{} notation or else?
Thanks,
Gisella

Thanks for the response.
Now it works but I ran into a different problem.
In my .properties file I have escape characters like
and now with this JSF release 1, they show literally as, for example:
Login ID:&nbsp
So looking at the HTML generated:
<td class="textLabel">Login ID: </td>
instead of what it used to be
<td class="textLabel">Login ID: </td>
Also if I have the simple:
<h:output_text value=" " />
the text rendered is
instead of a non-breaking space.
Is there a way to represent these characters?
Other related question:
looking at the specs for f:loadBundle, it says that the resource bundle is loaded into a Map in the request
scope. I find this annoying, that all the time, for each request, this bundle data will be loaded into
a Map in the request scope. These are values needed at the session scope.
Is there a way to have this resource bundle loaded at the session scope as you can do it in JSTL?
The f:loadBundle seems to be missing the 'scope' attribute as the fmt:setBundle does.
Any suggestions?

ClassCastException: javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.fmt.LocalizationContext

today i had the following exception, which blows my mind away. what can be wrong?
java.lang.ClassCastException: javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.fmt.LocalizationContext
     at org.apache.taglibs.standard.tag.common.fmt.BundleSupport.getLocalizationContext(Ljavax.servlet.jsp.PageContext;)Ljavax.servlet.jsp.jstl.fmt.LocalizationContext;(BundleSupport.java:127)

well the fact is that the JSPs are 100% correct. i'm migrating some legacy project, which builds, deploys and runs in its old state with no errors at all (and the old state is current PRO, so every bit of code is supposed to be correct). hence i presume it's not the JSPs that are wrong (because i never touched them), that's something else, probably the configuration of things, or conflicts between container libs and webapp libs, or sort of like that.
so if this error doesn't ring a bell, then i'll try to fiddle around, i thought maybe that's something "famous" :).

JSF and JSTL fmt:message

I have the following JSP:
<%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/fmt" %>
<html>
Language: <fmt:message key="test.language"/>
</html>When I run this without faces (http://localhost:8080/myapp/test.jsp), it works fine, the language for the message is choosen by the browsers language setting. If I run this thru faces servlet (http://localhost:8080/myapp/faces/test.jsp) the message is english always and the browser setting is ignored (english is the default language of the VM running tomcat).
It may be a problem in JSTL because request.getLocale() returns the correct locale in both cases.
Any ideas?
I tried JSTL 1.0.5, Tomat 4.1.30 and 5.0.19
Thanks a lot
Andreas

JSF sets the locale for the view to the locale specified by the Accept-Language request header (i.e., the user's browser language setting) that is the best match for the locales defined as the default or supported locales in faces-config.xml, or to the JVM default locale if none of them matches. The selected locale is made available for JSTL i18n actions (when you use JSP for the view), so as long as you define all locales you support in faces-config.xml, your page shouldwork fine.

JSTL fmt-localization

Hello,
I'm using Tomcat 5.5 as servlet provider and Apache 2 as proxy.
My problem is that localization doesn't work.
1. Choose locale -> Locale ok
2. Choose another locale -> Locale ok
3. Choose locale 1 -> locale still 2
Order does not matter, second locale is used always, even if i change browser.
jsp-code:
<fmt:setLocale value="${requestScope.user_locale}"/>
<fmt:bundle basename="messages">
<fmt:message key="start.title"/>web.xml:
<taglib>
          <taglib-uri>http://java.sun.com/jstl/fmt</taglib-uri>
          <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/fmt.tld</taglib-location>
     </taglib>     I print the value of requestScope.user_locale to page and it's ok. fi_FI or sv_SE
I need help, please? :)

Thank you for asking the right questions... i think :)
le
I'm changing with:
<fmt:setLocale value="${requestScope.user_locale}"/>
Cache is disabled:
<%
response.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-cache"); //HTTP 1.1
response.setHeader("Pragma","no-cache"); //HTTP 1.0
response.setDateHeader ("Expires", 0); //prevents caching at the proxy server
%>
requestScope.user_locale value is: fi_FI or sv_SE , it's Locale object (i'v printed it before fmt:setLocale
${javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.fmt.locale} does not print anything :(
I do not know the version of JSTL, sorry :(
web.xml is Servlet 2.3
Thanks!

Where can I get an Html error report of all the syntax and tag problems?

Thank you for your answer.
Where is the DW validation for me?
My files are in my computer so I don’t have an external URL.
File > validation > as xml = closes DW... Maybe because it is not a correct command for HTML,
And
Window > results > validation = gives a partial mistakes (e.g. shows an open tag without closing tag, but doesn’t show a closing tag without an open tag).
Thank you.

Unable to use JSTL fn tags in WL 8.1

hi,
          I am trying to use JSTL functions tags in my struts app, and I am seeing this error...
          Error in using tag library uri='http://java.sun.com/jstl/functions' prefix='fn': Tag Library Descriptor contains no Tag descriptions
          probably occurred due to an error in /newgui/customerservice/AdditionalLines.jsp line 4:
          <%@ taglib uri = "http://java.sun.com/jstl/functions" prefix = "fn"%>
          I have the entry in web.xml as below...
          <taglib>
          <taglib-uri>http://java.sun.com/jstl/functions</taglib-uri>
          <taglib-location>/WEB-INF/tlds/fn.tld</taglib-location>
          </taglib>
          I also have the fn.tld in the tlds folder along with other core and sql tlds. core tlds are working (they are 1.0.4 version), but I am having trouble using fn tags.
          btw, I am running the struts web-app on WL 8.1 Sp4 (or sp3) not sure...
          Any help is greatly appreciated...
          thanks,
          Kiran :)

Update: I just looked up the WL version and it's 8.1 sp3
          So, I guess, JSTL 1.1 (which includes jstl fn tags) is not supported by WL.... Someone correct me if I am wrong.
          Thanks,
          pal :)

Combing jstl/xml tags with jsf - can't pass parameter

I'm using the jstl/xml tags to parse portions of an xml document. For some value of an attribute I want to render a search link, many of these links may be rendered on a page and I need to track which one has actually been selected using the id of the generating xml element.
This is what I've tried, both using h:commandLink and a f:param and t:commandLink (tomahawk) and a t:updateActionListener.
It doesn't seem to be possible to expose the resolved value of the xpath ="@id" in any way that either the tomahawk or core jsf tags can see.
<x:when select="$control[@type='SEARCH']">
<input type="text" id='<x:out select="@id"/>' disabled="true">
<x:set var="selectedId" select="@id"/>
<h:commandLink action="#{pack.search}" value="#{msg['actionPack.label.search']}" styleClass="linkNoUnderline">
<f:param value="${selectedID}" name="selectedID"/>
</h:commandLink>
<%--<t:commandLink action="#{pack.search}" value="#{msg['actionPack.label.search']}" styleClass="linkNoUnderline">
<t:updateActionListener property="#{pack.searchingId}" value="${searchId}"/>
</t:commandLink>--%>
</x:when>

The JSF and JSTL tags don't really play well together.
Particularly conditional and looping tags.
My suggestion would be - if you're using JSF, don't use JSTL.
You are right in that the JSF tags don't bother with the xpath expression.
Would it be possible to shift the xml logic into an action/bean somewhere, and just present the jsp page with a list of relevant objects?
If I understand you are trying to determine which link was clicked on a page? In the JSF action "pack.search"?
What method of iterating are you using? an x:forEachLoop? A datatable?
