javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: In <parseDate>, a parse locale can not be established

Does anyone can identify the root cause of this error? Using fmt:parseDate tag , to parse the date in correct format. I can't seem to find a way to replicate what causes this exception. MY date format is like for example:"2015-08-06 13:13:30.59" Pulling order.submittedDate value from DB and trying get dd from the date object.

<fmt:parseDate value="${order.submittedDate}" pattern="yyyy-MM-dd" var="formatedDate"/>
<fmt:formatDate pattern="dd" value="${formatedDate}" var="submittedDay"/>

find below the full stacktrace 

    javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: In &lt;parseDate&gt;, a parse locale can not be established

Solution

  • Try the code below which will pass en_GB as the locale - you will need to replace this with your locale:

     <fmt:parseDate value="${order.submittedDate}" pattern="yyyy-MM-dd" var="formatedDate" parseLocale="en_GB" />

    If you want to soft code the locale you could do it as follows in ATG:

    <dsp:importbean var="requestLocale" bean="/atg/dynamo/servlet/RequestLocale" />
<fmt:setLocale value="${requestLocale.locale}"/>
<fmt:parseDate value="${order.submittedDate}" pattern="yyyy-MM-dd" var="formatedDate" />
