Default locale is not getting set to UK using <fmt:setLocale value="en_GB" />

Thank you for your response

If you are having problems with fmt:formatDate you should specify the timezone, e.g.

<fmt:formatDate value="${myDate}" pattern="dd MMM HH:mm" timeZone="BST"/>

Values for timeZone you can get from java.util.TimeZone.getAvailableIDs()

Edit

Try using the javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.core.Config class:

Config.set(getServletContext(), Config.FMT_LOCALE, "en_GB");

If by "default locale" you mean actually calling java.util.Locale.setDefault() then this is not possible in jstl since it would affect the whole application and not just the user acessing the current page. The fmt:setLocale tag sets the locale for the pages LocalizationContext which is then used by fmt:message, fmt:formatNumber, fmt:parseNumber, fmt:formatDate, and fmt:parseDate.

You need to call <fmt:setLocale> before <fmt:setBundle>.

<fmt:setLocale value="en_GB" />
<fmt:setBundle basename="com.example.i18n.text" />

If you call it afterwards, it would have no effect because the bundle is already loaded at that point.
