JSTL1.2 According to TLD or attribute directive in tag file, attribute var does not accept any expressions
Solution 1
Thanks for helping everyone. I realised it was a stupid mistake from my side..
Instead of
<fmt:formatDate value="date" var="${eventDate}" />
It should be
<fmt:formatDate type="date" value="${calendarEntry.date}"
Solution 2
I had a similar problem, and this answer points to basically trying two different taglib declarations. Perhaps try both of them?
Format Date with fmt:formatDate JSP
Switching to the taglib you have declared in your jsp file solved my problem, ironically.
<%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" %>
vs
<%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/fmt" %>
Solution 3
<fmt:formatDate value="date" var="${eventDate}" />
Switch value and var.
<fmt:formatDate var="date" value="${eventDate}" />

I have been searching all over google for an answer and it doesn't work.
I am getting this error:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /WEB-INF/pages/calendarEntry.jsp (line: 5, column: 46) According to TLD or attribute directive in tag file, attribute var does not accept any expressions
Here's my jsp file
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %> <%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" %> <div class="col-sm-9 col-sm-offset-3 col-md-10 col-md-offset-2 main"> <c:set var="eventDate" value="${calendarEntry.date}"/> <h1 class="page-header">Calendar Event on <fmt:formatDate value="date" var="${eventDate}" /></h1>
The error is happening at the last line. fmt
