Timezone handling in trinidad-config.xml and ConvertDateTimeTag does not give
notice on errors
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: TRINIDAD-739
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRINIDAD-739
Project: MyFaces Trinidad
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Components
Affects Versions: 1.0.2-core
Reporter: Yee-Wah Lee
Priority: Minor
In trinidad-config.xml, and in the DateTimeConverter tag, developers can
specify the timezone using a ID string. If the timezone ID given does not match
a supported timezone ID exactly (including case), the app behaves thus:
E.g. If the user enters the wrong case for the timezoneID, such as.
"america/new_york" instead of "America/New_York", the code would return the
following:
Windows: Returns a ZoneInfo object with correct offsets, but ID =
"america/new_york"
Unix/Linux: Returns GMT TimeZone
No warning is given in the Unix/Linux case. For the Windows case, the ZoneInfo
object is functional but developers must know to use case-insensitive
comparison against other TimeZones.
Propose 'fixing' up the lookup by comparing it against one of the known
timezones (available from TimeZone.getAvailableIDs()). And if the returned
timezone doesn't match the input string, log a warning.
