Why is the timezone converted when a date is passed in to a web service?
So if I have a service method:
void myMethod(Calendar myCal) {...}
If I send in 2003-06-30T00:00:00.0-05:00 to that myCal parameter and then
print out myCal in the java code, the timezone is based on whatever the
server is running at (which is -7:00 instead of -5:00). Isn't that wrong?
Shouldn't it preserve the timezone as passed in instead of losing it? Is
there a way to make it so it does preserve the timezone or do I have to
change it to a string?
Primary reason for this is I need a date mm/dd/yyyy and that's what matters.
The server losing the timezone information causes that date to be different
than what the user entered.
