This example show how to format date in JSP using format tag library. We create a date
object using the <jsp:useBean>
taglib. To format the date we use the <fmt:formatDate>
taglib. We assign the value
attribute to the date
object, set the type
attribute as date and define the pattern
how the date will be formatted.
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" prefix="fmt" %>
