Hi again, Just to follow up: We have conducted an experiment: changed the server time by 10 seconds into the future and the date in the java app was not affected. This is something, as the changes might have been caused by NTP process. Is there any way I could sync the date in the java app with the server? I would have always though this is done automatically...
