Timezones - date picker popup shows a day before
------------------------------------------------
Key: TRINIDAD-1384
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRINIDAD-1384
Project: MyFaces Trinidad
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Components
Affects Versions: 1.0.10-core, 1.2.10-core
Environment: Server with timezone set to US Eastern Time (GMT-5),
client browser on a machine with timezone set to
Central European Time (GMT+1)
Reporter: Denis Krukovsky
Priority: Minor
Steps to reproduce:
- run a server with timezone set to US Eastern Time (GMT-5).
- Create a page with Trinidad input date and date picker popup.
- Query the page from a browser on a machine with timezone set to Central
European Time (GMT+1).
- Enter some date into input date field.
- Click on datepicker icon.
- Observe that date rendered as selected in datepicker popup is 1 day before
the date entered into inputdate field.
This behavior gets fixed when we edit trinidad-config.xml and include
<time-zone>Etc/GMT-5</time-zone> (server timezone) there. Unfortunately
trinidad-config modification sometimes is not an option because servers and
timezones will change. I tried to supply inputDate component with custom
converter which returns server timezone from getTimeZone() and
getFormattingTimeZone(...) which doesn't help.
I also noted that in both cases - (1) no modification to trinidad-config and
the bug is there, and (2) trinidad-config modified and bug gets fixed - the
Trinidad date picker popup is being requested with equal request string
containing something like
/app/__ADFv__.jsf?_afPfm=-79d68df7&_t=cd&value=1231891200000&loc=en-US&enc=UTF-8,
i. e. the value parameter is same for both cases but datepicker gets rendered
differently.
