XML Publisher date format problems..

I faced one different problem in Rtf template for XML publisher.....

when i tried to get the date format as "mm/dd/yyyy"(as default the date format would come as 'yyyy-mm-dd), I just changed the date format in field properties(Text form field Options) that format and ran that report, I got the dates one day less to that actual date, for ex., if the actual date is 02/02/2010, In report it came as 02/01/2010,

When i tried to any date format in Field properties, it is coming like this.

So instead of this I used the below code in (text form field options -> add help text)


It is working fine now....
