How do I insert todays date in Seam?

date, java, seam

Solution

There is a built-in component in Seam in order to get the current date.

Just put

#{currentDate}

Nothing else. You do not need to declare managed bean as @BalusC has said when using this built-in component.

Problem

I'm new to Seam and I've been searching the internet and the Seam in Action book for this, but I'm looking for way to insert today's date in a seam page (myReport.xhtml or myPdfReport.xhtml)
