>From what I can find, this appears to be the right place to post this, if I'm wrong I would appreciate a pointer to the proper location. The database our app has to talk to has January 1,1900 12:00:00 am date in it. When I load the value into a open jdk date object (using Ubuntu/JBoss 4.2.3 GA-jdk6) I get December 31, 1899 23:00:00. When I do the same thing on my dev box (Win XP/Sun jre 1.6.0_07) I get January 1, 1900 12:00:00 am. I wrote a test program that prints out the Timezone info for 1898-1902 and it appears that the open jdk has a daylight savings time starting on Jan 1, 1900 through Oct 1, 1900 and the sun version doesn't. According to Wikipedia, Daylight savings wasn't suggested until 1907. I can't find anything on the web that suggests where the timezone info is kept or how complicated it will be to rebuild whatever jar file is required. Can someone point me to the proper source file and suggest how involved building the fix will be? Thanks Bill
