Subject: FW: Japanese Date Processing in Shift_JIS or UTF-8 encoding using
JavaScript, JSP, or Java
Hi,
> I want to parse & display Date on HTML pages. I can use JavaScript, JSP,
> or Java. The problem is to convert the UTC date format into Japanese
> format. The delimiters of Japanese date differ from standard Date
> representation in English.
>
> My HTML/JSP pages are enforced to use UTF-8 encoding. So, when my
> ServerApplication dumps the Date related information, it is always in UTC
> date format. To display the same in Japanese format, I need to embed the
> Japanese delimiters into the date, re-calculate & re-format it, then
> display it. Since, the delimiters are in Shift_JIS, so I need to convert
