That's correct though, isn't it? If I'm a user in CST and I access
your app on 4/30 at 9PM, I'd probably be wondering "How could my LAST
billing date be 5/1, which isn't until tomorrow?"
But if that's what you want, you can add the timezone offset to the
date being formatted. If item.lastBillingDate is Date object,
return df.format( new Date( item.lastBillingDate.getTime() +
item.lastBillingDate.getTimezoneOffset()*60000 ) );
Your Java code should be returning a date in UTC. If it isn't,
you'll have to adjust for that offset as well.

into account the end-users PC timezone! So the date coming back from
the server is 2007-05-01 00:00:00, so for someone in EST it shows
properly as 2007-05-01 (cause we are in EST) but for someone in CST
is shows 2007-04-30... anything we can do about this? How do I get
the end-user timezone setting ?
