The User interface has getTimeZone() which returns the time zone for the user. Combine that w/ a call to com.liferay.portal.kernel.util.DateUtil and you can build a string suitable for display in best format for the user.

Hi Akash,

You can use jsp taglib too , if you set your date object into req. attribute and use following taglib to display them directly, you can also define other attribute in it too like dateformat and timeZone etc..

<%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" %>
<fmt:formatdate timeZone="${timeZone}" pattern="yyyy-MM-dd" value="${myDate}" />

Thanks,
Sagar Vyas

Sagar A Vyas:

<%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" %>
<fmt:formatdate timeZone="${timeZone}" pattern="yyyy-MM-dd" value="${myDate}" />

This format does not take the user's localization standards into account.
