Date conversion in JSP via JSTL from XMLCalendar to util date -

i trying convert xmlcalendar date normal date format rendering on jsp page. while using below tag getting exception:

<fmt:formatdate value="${xmlcalendardate}" pattern="dd/mm/yyyy" /> 

with tag getting exception as

 java.lang.illegalargumentexception: cannot convert 2015-07-02t21:33:35z of type class org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xml.type.internal.xmlcalendar class java.util.date 

is there other tag or other approach render date on jsp page.

thanks in advance.
