Freemarker check for date/time

Below is the two lines of code that throws error:

<#assign test2="20:56:20"?time("HH:mm:ss")>

${test2?date}

The second line ends up with error:

freemarker.template.TemplateException: Cannot convert TIME into DATE

I know this is expected. But how can I check, if a date variable has got the 'date' value before displaying it on screen? For ex: In above example, i would like to check if 'test2' contains a date part before diplaying it on screen.

This is how i usually do it:

dateIssued?datetime("MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm a")

or

dateIssued?datetime("hh:mm a")

or 

dateIssued?datetime("MM/dd/yyyy")

Just make sure you passing into your model java.util.Date

So I just use the datetime all the time. Hope this will help you.
