Re: [Simpleweb-Support] DateParser not adjusting for time zone differences?

[Niall G. <ni...@em...>]

Hi,

> It would appear that DateParser doesn't take the local time zone into account when generating its string representation:


I have had a look at the DateParser and it seems that getting a Calendar for a Locale such as Locale.UK or Locale.US does not affect the time generated by the Calendar. Since I am in GMT I did not verify this. I have changed DateParser such that it uses a TimeZone like this

public DateParser(long date) {
      TimeZone zone = TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT")
      Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(zone);
      calendar.setTime(new Date(date));

      // etc ...
}

Instead of

public DateParser(long date) {    
      Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(Locale.UK);
      calendar.setTime(new Date(date));

      // etc ...
}

Also, the DateParser.toLong method needs to be modified to replace Locale.UK with the correct time zone object. It sould work with these modifications, which I will include when I make the next release...

Thanks for the feedback,
Niall
