Hi

Create a simple data type "DateFormat" in Local Dictionary section of Webdynpro explorer and map the Type property of context attribute to this simple data type.Open the Simple Data type and in the Representation tab of Simple data type you can mention any format(dd.MM.yyyy) and in the Definition tab select the "built in type" as date.

So when you use the context attribute in the code , it will ask you to import the Date package.Select import java.util.Date.

Thanks
