Another way:

<fmt:parseDate value="${monthInt}" dateStyle="long" pattern="M" var="monthDate"></fmt:parseDate> 
<fmt:formatDate value="${monthDate}" pattern="MMMM"></fmt:formatDate>

You could use <jsp:useBean> as:

<jsp:useBean id="monthNames" class="java.text.DateFormatSymbols" />
<c:set value="${monthNames.months}" var="months" />

Now, I have initialized list of months using <c:set> corresponding to the index. You could access it using months which is declared in var.

You could use it as ${months[0]} it will give you January.

Hope it will work.!!

This won't work. The tag formats a Date object into a String, so the value needs to be a Date. You're giving it an int.

If you need a list of months then you might want to consider creating a list and putting it in the session.

JSTL expects a Date to be provided to the fmt:formatDate tag. In the example an int is provided. If you have extracted this int from a Date object, just pass that Date instead, no need for extracting the month value.

<fmt:formatDate pattern="M" dateStyle="long" value="${someDate}" />
