The parsed ISOChronology will match that of the default time zone. To parse the 'Z' and get UTC you need to call withOffsetParsed(): DateTime time2 = parser.withOffsetParsed().parseDateTime("2007-11-22T07:00:42Z"); Stephen ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
