converting string to date format in jsp

I'm trying to convert a string object that is formatted in a date format (i.e. 2013-12-14 10:00:00.0) and is passed to the jsp as such, into another date format (i.e. 12/14/13 10:00:00 AM) on the jsp. I've tried the following lines of code trying to parse the string "date" (which happens to be in a certain date format) to an actual date format:

<fmt:parseDate value="${row.date}" type="date" pattern="yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss.S" var="formatedDate"/>   
<td class="dataField"><fmt:formatDate value="${formatedDate}"  type="date" pattern="MM/dd/yy hh:mm:ss a"/></td>

But I'm getting the following exception in my console:

16:14:01,265 ERROR [[springapp]] Servlet.service() for servlet springapp threw exception java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "2013-12-14 10:00:00.0" at java.text.DateFormat.parse(DateFormat.java:337)

Does anyone have a better idea why this is not working?

I tried same code, the problem was in format date you should use HH instead of hh

<fmt:parseDate value="${row.date}" type="date" pattern="yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.S" var="formatedDate"/>
<td class="dataField"><fmt:formatDate value="${formatedDate}"  type="date" pattern="MM/dd/yy hh:mm:ss a"/></td>

The problem is with your time: 10:00:00.0 You have milliseconds also. To parse such dates you should change your pattern to be yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss.S
