Hi! I have a loop that goes through all the news items we have on our site. One of the fields is date ${newsitem.value['Date']}, given in millliseconds. I'd like to display this date in month/day/year format on the webpage. I thought JSTL format tag, <fmt:formatDate>, would help, but I haven't succeeded. Do you know how to do it?

<cms:contentaccess var="newsitem" />
<h2><c:out value="${newsitem.value['Title']}" /></h2>
// display date here        
<c:out value="${newsitem.value['Text']}"  escapeXml="false" />
