Here's one way to get the selected date. The urls generated by the calendar tag
have a parameter called "CalendarTagDate" which you can simply grab from the request.
BTW The name of this parameter can be changed by using the dateParam atribute of the tag. Eg: <examples:cal dateParam="MyDate">

This date is in the format YYYYMMDD. The code below can convert this format into
a java Calendar object.

private Calendar parseDate (String s) { int currYear = Integer.parseInt (s.substring (0, 4)); int currMonth = Integer.parseInt (s.substring (4, 6)); int currDate = Integer.parseInt (s.substring (6, 8)); return new GregorianCalendar (currYear, currMonth, currDate); }

Hope this helps. I do not understand the second question.
