I am trying to show the current date in my JSP page using JSTL. below is the code I am using.
<jsp:useBean id="now" class="java.util.Date" scope="request" />
<fmt:formatDate value="${now}" pattern="MM.dd.yyyy" />
But the above code is not producing any results? Am I missing anything here or is there any better approach for this? I am using JSTL 1.1.

The <c:out> tag is similar to JSP expression tag, but it can only be used with expression. It will display the result of an expression, similar to the way < %=... % > work.
JSTL stands for JSP Standard Tag Library. JSTL is the standard tag library that provides tags to control the JSP page behavior. JSTL tags can be used for iteration and control statements, internationalization, SQL etc.
JSTL Core <fmt:message> Tag. The <fmt:message> tag is used for displaying an internationalized message. It maps the key of localized message to return the value using a resource bundle specified in the bundle attribute.
Try to print it without formatting, ${now}, you probably have null in there. Do you have this attribute in request scope? Just double check, if yes it might be null. If not, then try remove this scope attribute from the tag, yeah it doesn't matter but just to make the things clear.
