Step 3:
1. Under WEB-INF, create a folder named tlds and another tld file, such as formatTime.tld, which reads:
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> 
<!DOCTYPE taglib PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JSP Tag Library 1.1//EN" 
"http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-jsptaglibrary_1_1.dtd"> 
<taglib> 
<tlibversion>1.0</tlibversion> 
<jspversion>1.1</jspversion> 
<shortname>ntuc</shortname> 
<tag> 
<name>formatTimeAsString</name> 
<tagclass>com.ufinity.taglibTest.FormatTimeTag</tagclass> 
<bodycontent>empty</bodycontent> 
<attribute> 
<name>timestamp</name> 
</attribute> 
<attribute> 
<name>format</name> 
</attribute> 
<attribute> 
<name>showTH</name> 
</attribute> 
<attribute> 
<name>style</name> 
</attribute> 
</tag> 
</taglib> 

2. Build one class, the content is as follows:
 
package com.ufinity.taglibTest; 
import java.io.IOException; 
import java.text.DateFormat; 
import java.text.ParseException; 
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat; 
import java.util.Calendar; 
import java.util.Date; 
import java.util.Locale; 
import javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.TagSupport; 
/** 
* Description of the class 
* 
* @author Wangqy 
* @version 1.0 
* @since 2009-8-25 
*/ 
public class FormatTimeTag extends TagSupport { 
/** 
* serialVersionUID long 
*/ 
private static final long serialVersionUID = 8757501937718830491L; 
private String timestamp; 
private String format; 
private String showTH; 
private String style; 
public int doEndTag() 
{ 
try 
{ 
String info = this.convertDateTime(timestamp, format, Boolean.parseBoolean(showTH), style); 
pageContext.getOut().println(info); 
} 
catch (IOException e) { 
} 
return EVAL_PAGE; 
} 
private String convertDateTime(String dateTime, String formater, boolean showTH, String caseStyle) { 
String timePosted = null; 
SimpleDateFormat dateFm = null; 
DateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMddHHmmss"); 
Date formatTime = null; 
try { 
formatTime = format.parse(dateTime); 
} catch (ParseException e) { 
return null; 
} 
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(); 
calendar.setTime(formatTime); 
if (showTH) { 
int day = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH); 
String daySuffix = "th"; 
if ((day % 10) == 1) { 
daySuffix = ((day / 10) == 1) ? "th" : "st"; 
} else if ((day % 10) == 2) { 
daySuffix = (day == 12) ? "th" : "nd"; 
} else if ((day % 10) == 3) { 
daySuffix = (day == 13) ? "th" : "rd"; 
} 
formater = formater.substring(0, formater.indexOf(" ")) + "'" 
+ daySuffix + "'" 
+ formater.substring(formater.indexOf(" ")); 
dateFm = new SimpleDateFormat(formater, Locale.ENGLISH); 
} else { 
dateFm = new SimpleDateFormat(formater, Locale.ENGLISH); 
} 
timePosted = dateFm.format(formatTime); 
if (caseStyle.equals("Upper")) { 
timePosted = timePosted.toUpperCase(); 
} else if (caseStyle.equals("Lower")) { 
timePosted = timePosted.toLowerCase(); 
} 
return timePosted; 
} 
public void setFormat(String format) { 
this.format = format; 
} 
public void setShowTH(String showTH) { 
this.showTH = showTH; 
} 
public void setStyle(String style) { 
this.style = style; 
} 
public void setTimestamp(String timestamp) { 
this.timestamp = timestamp; 
} 
} 

3. Create an jsp page and test it:
 
<%@ page language="java" pageEncoding="utf-8"%> 
<%@ taglib uri="WEB-INF/tlds/formatTime.tld" prefix="tf" %> 
<html> 
<head> 
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=gb2312" /> 
<title> Sample custom tag </title> 
</head> 
<body> 
<p> 
 Transformation" 20090403132233 "  
</p> 
format:dd MMMM yyyy showTH:true style:Upper  After conversion, it is: <tf:formatTimeAsString timestamp="20090403132233" format="dd MMMM yyyy" showTH="true" style="Upper"/><br/> 
format:dd MMMM yyyy showTH:true style:Lower  After conversion, it is: <tf:formatTimeAsString timestamp="20090403132233" format="dd MMMM yyyy" showTH="true" style="Lower"/><br/> 
format:dd MMMM yyyy showTH:false style:Upper  After conversion, it is: <tf:formatTimeAsString timestamp="20090403132233" format="dd MMMM yyyy" showTH="false" style="Upper"/><br/> 
format:dd MMMM yyyy showTH:true style:""  After conversion, it is: <tf:formatTimeAsString timestamp="20090403132233" format="dd MMMM yyyy" showTH="true" style=""/><br/> 
</body> 
</html> 

ok. Here timestamp is a given value, if it is dynamically fetched through the ${} tag, the tld file needs to be sent
 
<attribute> 
<name>timestamp</name> 
</attribute> 

Modified to
 
<attribute> 
<name>timestamp</name> 
<rtexprvalue>true</rtexprvalue> 
</attribute>
