How to set date on jquery datepicker with java.util.Calendar class

I trying to edit an users profile. I have a "Date of birth" textfield, for which I use jqueryui date picker. At the server side I have struts2. Struts2 returns the date in java.util.Calendar object. I looking to find a way in which the default date of the datepicker can be set using this Calendar object.

Can this be done using struts-jquery plugin?

I tried like this 

    $(function() {
        $("#txtDob").datepicker( "setDate" , <s:property value="#vendor.dateOfBirth" />);
        $( "#txtDob" ).datepicker({
            yearRange: '1930:-18',
            changeMonth: true,
            changeYear: true,
        });
    });

Nothing is happening, even the datepicker isn't working.

Any help will be appreciated.

With Struts2 jQuery Plugin you can use the value attribute from the DatePickerTag to set the value of your DatePicker.

<sj:datepicker value="%{vendor.dateOfBirth}" id="txtDob" name="dateOfBirth" label="Birthday" />

When using plain jQuery Ui and Struts2 you can use the Struts2 DateTag to set the Date.

$("#txtDob").val($.datepicker.formatDate(params.dateFormat, new Date(<s:date name="%{vendor.dateOfBirth}" format="yyyy, MM, dd" />)));

Note: You should init your datepicker before you set the Date via $(elem).datepicker( "setDate", val)
