I have this scriplet in my JSP, and I want it to be somehow include as a default value in my <s:textfield>.
<%java.text.DateFormat df = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd"); %>
How can I access variable df? I'm thinking like this:
<s:textfield name="mediaBean.acquireDate" style="width:150px;"
theme="simple" id="datepicker" type="text"
value="%{df.format(new java.util.Date())}" />
I tried to put it directly as value="%{new java.util.Date()} and it worked, but without format. I want to have the yyyy/MM/dd format.
Do not use scriplets, use tag libs. What you want can be done with Struts2 tags <s:date> and <s:param>.
<s:textfield name="mediaBean.acquireDate" style="width:150px;" theme="simple" id="datepicker" type="text">
<s:param name="value">
<s:date name="new java.util.Date()" format="yyyy/MM/dd"/>
</s:param>
</s:textfield>
