Thanks for your reply Andrea.
I have Geoserver installed as a Windows service and am not too knowledgeable on
the Java environment – is this an application that can be installed to link
into Geoserver to change the settings then? Am I able to change the Geoserver
config settings to reflect the below through the config files if this isn’t
possible using the UI?
Thanks, Chris

The problem I am encountering is, for any dates that fall within British summer
time (GMT Daylight Saving Time), it appears to be moving the actual date back
by one day (i.e. for a date stored as 8th September 1993 in PostGIS, it is
displaying as 07/09/1993 in my HTML / Javascript web application). The field is
not a timestamp field, it is just a date field so from what I can gather it
shouldn’t be storing any information on time zones?
There was a discussion about this topic on geotools-devel some time ago, the
outcome was that yes, also dates have timezone (not hard to grasp,
e.g., now it's Wednesday here in Europe, but in a few hours it will be Thursday
in Australia). I believe that the outcome was also that it's useful to add a
configuration flag
for those that do not work in an international settings, so that the dates do
not get modified in those cases.
According to the docs there is a system variable you can set:
http://docs.geotools.org/latest/userguide/library/metadata/geotools.html
So starting your JVM with -Dorg.geotools.localDateTimeHandling=true should
change the behavior. It would be nice to have that as a global setting
in the GeoServer UI... anyone interested in coding it? :-)
Cheers
Andrea
