Re: fmt:formatDate and fmt:setLocale problem

Per the spec, make sure <fmt:setLocale> is placed at the beginning of the page,
or at least before any other i18n-capable formatting actions. Can you try the
following:

<%@ page contentType="text/plain" import="javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.core.Config"
%>
<%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" %>

<fmt:setLocale value="pl_PL"/>

Config locale: <%= Config.find(pageContext, Config.FMT_LOCALE) %>
Response locale: ${pageContext.response.locale}

<jsp:useBean id="date" class="java.util.Date"/>
Date: <fmt:formatDate value="${date}" type="date" dateStyle="medium"/>

I get:

Config locale: pl_PL
Response locale: pl_PL
Date: 2007-06-28

If I remove <fmt:setLocale>, I get:

Config locale: null
Response locale: en_US
Date: Jun 28, 2007

So it seems to be working...
