s:convertDateTime
<p>The <s:convertDateTime> tag is useful for converting a date into a human-readable format and supports a range of formatting options. You can use this tag to control the style and appearance of a date on your JSF page. The ConvertDateTime tag applies to the date value of the component associated with the enclosing tag.</p>

Example

<h:outputText value="#{dateBean.today}">
  <s:convertDateTime dateStyle="full" type="both" />
</h:outputText>
