DateUtils.isSameDay needs to factor in TimeZone
-----------------------------------------------
Key: LANG-598
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-598
Project: Commons Lang
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: lang.time.*
Affects Versions: 2.5
Reporter: Dan Checkoway
DateUtils.isSameDay works great as long as you only care about the default
system TimeZone. If you're trying to see if two Dates are the same day in
*another* TimeZone, then you're hosed.
For example, let's say the two dates being compared are:
January 1, 2010 at 8:30pm PST
January 1, 2010 at 9:30pm PST
If your system TimeZone is PST, then sure, those two dates are on the "same
day." But they are NOT the same day in EST, for example.
The fix would be simple. Add an isSameDay(Date, Date, TimeZone) method, and
simply call setTimezone on each of the Calendar objects constructed.
The isSameDay(Calendar, Calendar) method can probably be left alone, since the
caller conceivably has called setTimeZone on the Calendar objects prior to
calling isSameDay.
