Maybe you can explain a bit more in detail why you want to keep the original timezone? Usually you are only interested in the absolute UTC time (no matter in which timezone the date is given initially) when it comes to date/time comparisons/calculations. What do you want to do with the timezone information? Do you need that for printing date information i.e. for converting it to a string (e.g. with the SimpleDateFormat)? Konrad
