Andreas Veithen commented on AXIS2-4152:
----------------------------------------
Exactly, only answers a and b are correct.
Gavin, another convincing argument goes as follows: answer c can't be correct
because the recipient of the information has no way to know that you are
actually in Adelaide (where DST is in effect and the time difference with
respect to UTC is +10:30) and not in the +9:30 timezone on the northern
hemisphere where DST is not in effect, i.e. the recipient would not be able to
calculate the time in UTC.
Also, section 3.2.7.3 of "XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes Second Edition" is
relatively clear:
"When a timezone is added to a UTC dateTime, the result is the date and time
"in that timezone". For example, 2002-10-10T12:00:00+05:00 is
2002-10-10T07:00:00Z and 2002-10-10T00:00:00+05:00 is 2002-10-09T19:00:00Z."
That rule always holds, whether DST is in effect or not.

> Key: AXIS2-4152
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-4152
> Project: Axis 2.0 (Axis2)
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: adb
> Affects Versions: 1.4.1
> Environment: Axis 2, Weblogic, java 1.4.2
> Reporter: Gavin Pearce
>
> According to my interpretation of the XML Schema spec (
> http://www.w3.org/TR/timezone/#d2e226 ) the zone offset should be returned as
> part of the date component instead of the timezone. This affects regions
> that have daylight saving time in effect. In Adelaide we have daylight
> saving during the summer period and the value returned from convertToString
> becomes 2008-11-28T11:01:54.232+10:30 during that period whereas it should
> remain at 2008-11-28T11:01:54.232+09:30
> This code was changed between release 1.4.0 and 1.4.1.
