Re: [flexcoders] Re: DateTime in WebService

old thread I know...we are using Flex 1.5.  We have a app that uses a
Oracle timestamp field.  In the Java code we use a java.util.Date and
the corresponding VO in AS uses a Date.  We want all times to be EST
no matter where the client app is.  So, we use the timezone offset in
AS to massage all dates padding the hours before saving the data and
after fetching the data.  Works.  Except when freaky things happen
when 5000+ users start using it! :)  Things like user is double
clicking a save icon instead of single clicking, when this occurs the
datea get massaged twice sometimes causing a display muck up. Yeah,we
coded around this, but feels so hacky.  Is there another approach
maybe?  thoughts?

One big issue we have is with Arizona.  Not all of Arizona follows
DST, the non Navajo Nation parts of AZ do not follow DST.  We have
suers their that the Flash player says they are following DST when
they are not.  Is this a known issue?  A Windows issue?  We are
baffled at this one.
