formatDate

Formats a Date value using a locale. A style or a pattern such as 'YYYY MMM ddd' is specified. If the value is null then the default text is used. If no locale is specified then the parent locale tag is used. If no parent locale tag exists then the locale is taken from the current request. If still no locale is found then the current JVM locale is used.
