Examples do not work in EST time zone

[stevech10]

When running the examples, I get the following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: setCurrentTime():Time zone could not be inicialized
        at ch.ethz.mxquery.query.Context.setCurrentTime(Context.java:909)
        at ch.ethz.mxquery.query.impl.PreparedStatementImpl.evaluate(PreparedStatementImpl.java:37)
        at ch.ethz.mxquery.example.MXQuery.doQuery2(MXQuery.java:253)
        at ch.ethz.mxquery.example.MXQuery.executeQuery(MXQuery.java:225)
        at ch.ethz.mxquery.example.MXQuery.main(MXQuery.java:114)

I added additional debug to print the actual error message caught in Context.java, and the format of the timezoneOffset is: PT-300M

I am in the USA on EST

Looking at MXQueryDayTimeDuration.java, the first check in the parse method has the following check:

if(input.indexOf("+") >= 0 || input.indexOf("-") > 0 )
            throw new StaticException(ErrorCodes.F0023_INVALID_VALUE_FOR_CAST_CONSTRUCTOR, "Incorrect format of the Duration value");

Obviously, this fails because the "-" has an index of 2.

It works OK if the time zone is GMT or any positive offset from that.

Hi Steve,

thanks for the bug report.

We were able to reproduce the bug, and it is now fixed in our internal builds. We will release a new version (including this and other bug fixes) to coming week or the other week. If you want to have a snapshot release in the meantime, please let me me know.

Regards,
