Thanks Dave.
After reading your email I tried your solution, outputting the date in the tag
body rather than using the value attribute. I was surprised to find the
<s:param> tag behaves the way it does with Date objects, invoking toString().
Given the behavior of the Date type conversion class, I assumed param would
output Date values in a compatible date format.
Many thanks,
Scott
