Hi, I am tring to insert a date in my JSP page. But what I can do is only &lt;%=new java.util.Date()%&gt; which result in a long string (like Mon Mar 03 00:09:54 PST 2003).<br />
<br />
I wonder if I can have something short like YYYY-MM-DD or DD-MM-YYYY whatever.<br />
<br />
Many thanks.

Data format YYYY-MM-DD

JavaServer Pages (JSP) allow the development of dynamically generated web pages. It uses the Java programming language; JSP pages are translated into servlets at runtime, with each servlet being cached and reused until the JSP is modified. JSP allows Java code to be interleaved with static web markup content, so the resulting page can be compiled and executed on the server to deliver the content.
