Jochen Kemnade commented on TAP5-841:
-------------------------------------
The only thing that prevents me from getting started on this is that I'm not
sure about that {{LocalDate}}-like class. Given that we'll probably switch to
Java 8 after Tapestry 5.4, that class would virtually be deprecated from the
start. Also, if we really call it {{LocalDate}}, there would be two Tapestry
classes with that name (there is also a LocalDate component in 5.4). Of course,
we could call it YearMonthDay, like JodaTime's old implementation.
But DateField could also use a plain ISO 8601 string internally and Tapestry
could provide coercions from and to {{Date}}.

> Project: Tapestry 5
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: tapestry-core
> Affects Versions: 5.4, 5.1.0.5
> Reporter: David Rees
> Attachments: T5.3-DateField-Patch.txt

>
> This affects 5.0.18 and 5.1.0.5 in my testing.
> Situation is that if the server is running in a different timezone than the
> client, the DateField chooser will select the wrong date on the calendar.
> For example, if the server is running in "Pacific/Auckland" and the client is
> running in "America/Los_Angeles", Auckland is a "day ahead" of Los Angeles
> for most of the time and the bug is easy to reproduce.
> Right now it is 3:40PM Sep 8, 2009 America/Los_Angeles and 10:40AM Sep 9,
> 2009 Pacific/Auckland. If the date on the server to be displayed by the
> DateField is Sep 9, 2009, when you select the date chooser, Sep 8, 2009 is
> selected in the JavaScript calendar dialog.
> I found this message which seems to indicate that Howard thought it might be
> an issue - looks like he was correct:
