Ok. You're right. Sorry about that. > We were talking about dates where you need timezones. A birthday > is a quite bad example for that. Yes I see your point. However, the birthday information is precisely the kind of information I am attempting to record. That is, a month, day, year value that is fixed and independent of timezone. I am using a DateBox on the GWT gui. And when I select June 1, 2010 as I run the application on my local machine, I can see that June 1, 2010 is stored with the data and this is correct. But when I run the application online and select June 1, 2010 I see that May 31, 2010 is stored with the data and that is not what I want. > Date is just an Object around a long-value representing the > milliseconds since Jan 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC.

This is a very good suggestion and this may help me with the situation. I'll work with this idea a bit.
