jslet通过小脚本在dd / MM / yyyy日期格式

Question

I want to show the date coming from data base in the jsp page in dd/MM/yyyy format. Here is my code in javascript.

$(document).ready(function(){
    <%
         SDateDTO sDTO = (SDateDTO) request.getAttribute("sDTO");  
    if(null != scholAvailDTO){
        System.out.println(scholAvailDTO.getEndDate());
    %>

        var end = <%=scholAvailDTO.getEndDate() %>;
        $("#endDateId").val(end);
       <%       
    }
    %>

});

In console it is coming 27/04/2010 but in jsp it is getting populated like 0.0033582089552238806 which is actually division result of the date. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Amit

Answer 1

If getEndDate() returns java.util.Date object then, use DateFormat for get the formatted string and then wrap the value in quotes as below:

    <%DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");%>
    var end = "<%=formatter.format(scholAvailDTO.getEndDate()) %>";

If getEndDate() returns java.lang.String then simply wrap the value in quotes as below:

   var end = "<%=scholAvailDTO.getEndDate() %>";

Well yes - your Javascript will presumably be rendered to the browser as:

var end = 27/04/2010;

If you want it to be in a string literal then you'll need to add the quotes yourself:

var end = "<%=scholAvailDTO.getEndDate() %>";

Note that you'll need to be confident that the value itself doesn't have quotes - or other values which aren't appropriate for JavaScript - in there. I suspect there may well be a better approach than the above.
