Hi Hemika, Converting from long to string should happen on client side. Otherwise we will display times in server time zone, which is not useful. You should always record time in long UTC and send to the client in long. UTC to current time-zone conversion should happen at client as follows.
var d = new Date(1324339200000); Additionally if the time is close to the current date you can show the difference for better UX [1] [1] https://github.com/odyniec/tinyAgo-js/blob/master/tinyAgo.js On Fri, Jun 24, 2016 at 1:50 AM, Rasika Perera <rasi...@wso2.com> wrote: > Hi Hemika, > > I have a list of java objects that I am returning from the server side JS >> where the object has a timestamp property in long format(milliseconds), in >> that case I will have to iterate the list and get the timestamp of each >> object and store them in another list/map and return that separately. > > I think this is not specific to the UUF.
