parseDate

The default method:

Date parseDate(String source, String pattern);

i.e., CommonFns.parseDate(String, String)

Parses text from the beginning of the given string to produce a date with the given pattern.

There is another extended built-in function, CommonFns.parseDate(String, String, Locale, TimeZone, String, String), not declared in the taglib. Parses text from the beginning of the given string to produce a date with the given pattern, locale, timezone, date style and time style.

You can call it by EL or declaring a xel-method.

• source - the text to parse
• pattern - the pattern to apply

In extended function only:

• locale - the locale to apply
• timezone - the timezone to apply
• dateStyle - the date style to apply
