Format date to show Day (e.g. Friday) using fmt tag in JSTL

Question

I have a date object passed on to the JSP page as ${date}. I want to print the date in following format:

Last logged in on Friday, September 23, 2011 on 11:32 PM EDT.

I cant get the Friday part and the EDT part. All I am able to successfully print is:

Last logged in on September 23, 2011 on 11:32 PM.

What are the additional options I need to include for printing the Day and Timezone? Thanks in advance.

PS: I am using fmt tag in JSTL.

Answer 1

Look at the java.util.SimpleDateFormat . That's the basis for the <fmt>

You sound like you want either a custom format or FULL.
