Following the code.

<c:set var="birthdate"  value="${requestScope.evaluation.employee.birthDate}"></c:set>
<fmt:formatDate pattern="ddMMyyyy"  type="both" value="${birthdate}"/>

Error: Custom tag attribute value cannot be runtime expression. value: "[${birthdate}]"

Can we see your taglib declarations at the top of the JSP? – skaffman Jan 18 '11 at 12:15 — skaffman, Jan 18 '11 at 12:15

Ensure that the JSTL fmt taglib is declared as per JSTL 1.1 documentation:

<%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" %>

Note the /jsp path.
