Here is an example JavaServer page that checks the date of a specific location using a typical HTML web page form:
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core
"
prefix="c" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/functions" prefix="f" %>
<html>
<head><title>Localized Dates</title></head>
<body bgcolor="white">
<jsp:useBean id="locales" scope="application"
class="mypkg.MyLocales"/>
<form name="localeForm" action="index.jsp" method="post">
<c:set var="selectedLocaleString" value="${param.locale}" />
<c:set var="selectedFlag"
value="${!empty selectedLocaleString}" />
<b>Locale:</b>
<select name=locale>
<c:forEach var="localeString" items="${locales.localeNames}" >
<c:choose>
<c:when test="${selectedFlag}">
<c:choose>
<c:when
test="${f:equals(selectedLocaleString, localeString)}" >
<option selected>${localeString}</option>
</c:when>
<c:otherwise>
<option>${localeString}</option>
</c:otherwise>
</c:choose>
</c:when>
<c:otherwise>
<option>${localeString}</option>
</c:otherwise>
</c:choose>
</c:forEach>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Get Date">
</form>
<c:if test="${selectedFlag}" >
<jsp:setProperty name="locales"
property="selectedLocaleString"
value="${selectedLocaleString}" />
<jsp:useBean id="date" class="mypkg.MyDate"/>
<jsp:setProperty name="date" property="locale"
value="${locales.selectedLocale}"/>
<b>Date: </b>${date.date}</c:if>
</body>
</html>
The example is from the Java EE Tutorial
The result provides the following:
