title: How do we format MappedDateTime in lift?
body: <p>I would like to format <code>MappedDateTime</code> objects just like it is done in java:</p>
  
  <pre><code>val sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss Z")
  sdf.format((new Date()))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How is it done with <code>MappedDateTime</code> in lift?</p>
