Is it possible to create a date value in JSTL Expression Language (EL) without using scriptlets? Here is a snippet of some of the legacy code I'm trying to refactor to only use EL.

<td><%=new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm z").format(new java.util.Date())%></td>

Apparently it prints out the current date and time. I know I can format a date using EL, but can I get a date using EL?
