[jdjlist] RE: Using different time zones in jdk1.1.8

[Ron Sher]

I think I've managed to solve my problem.

 

It seems that in JDK 1.1.8 using setTimeZone() after the calendar was created has no affect. Therefore I've used Calendar.getInstance(zone) and new Calendar(zone) and it seems to be working.

 

Thanks,

 

Ron

Hi,

 

I know that there are many problems with the Time Zone under java1.1, You could therefore construct your own TZ variable that starts with ECT ie (TZ=ECT-1ECTDST)

You can look this exemple: 

 

$ cat CalendarUse2.java

import java.util.*;

import java.text.*;

import java.awt.Graphics;

import java.applet.*;

public class CalendarUse2 extends Applet {

public void paint(Graphics g) {

// Use short 3 letter code for compatibility with java 1.1.

// However note that as mentioned in the current Java API

// documentation their use is deprecated.

TimeZone tz=TimeZone.getTimeZone("ECT");

Calendar calendar =Calendar.getInstance(tz);

DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(DateFormat.FULL,DateFormat.FULL,Locale.FRENCH);

df.setCalendar(calendar);

Date d= calendar.getTime();

g.drawString(df.format(d),25,25);

}

}

Hope this help you

Hi all,

 

I'm trying helplessly to change the default time zone (in order to get read of inconsistencies in daylight saving time) under JDK1.1.8.

 

I'm using setTimeZone() to do that. It works fine under JDK1.2, but seems not to do the effect in JDK1.1.8.

 

When I'm using the calendar's get(Calendar.HOUR) it returns the same thing regardless of the time zone I created.

 

Any ideas?

 

thanks,
