OK thanks I'll dig around those tips.
I did hit on a very simple solution for the moment - componentise the
display and in it's template;
<t:beandisplay object="message">
<p:messageTimestamp>
${message.messageTimestamp}
</p:messageTimestamp>
</t:beandisplay>
But that gives date.toString() style output which is less than ideal
but got me breathing space to look at a better solution as per your
suggestions. I guess another way is to use t:output with a formatter
configured in the component.
It strikes me that maybe there just needs to to be a way to globally
format dates (or specifiy the default) in the style of a
java.text.dateformat template. For example one of the things I tried
was adding messageTimestamp-format entries to the relevant .properties
file for the page to see if that worked, but it did not.
thanks
