<fmt:formatDate ?>

Here is a sample JSP code

<fmt:setLocale value="us_US"/>

<fmt:formatDate value="${now}" pattern="yyyyMMdd"/>

<fmt:setLocale value="ru_RU"/>

<fmt:formatDate value="${now}" pattern="yyyyMMdd"/>

And on the output I got:

Fri Jan 19 14:38:21 MSK 2007

20070119

I expected to see two identical rows but why they are not? Doesn't the "pattern" attribute rules the output format? If not how does one can manipulate with the format?

The problem is caused because "us_US" is not a valid locale.

Try "en_US" for the desired effect, or even just "en"

<fmt:setLocale value="junkValue"/>

<fmt:formatDate value="${now}" pattern="yyyyMMdd"/>

Output: Fri Jan 19 14:38:21 MSK 2007

It seems when the locale is not set correctly, the formatDate tag cannot use the pattern.
