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" %>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Date Format</title>
</head>
<body>
<jsp:useBean id="date" class="java.util.Date"/>
Today is: <fmt:formatDate value="${date}" type="date" pattern="dd-MMM-yyyy"/>
</body>
