Allow me to put some ideas here...

I can store a LocalTime in my DB (eg 18:00) alongside with a String for the
TimeZone "Europe/Brussels"

Is there a way to create a LocalTime using both?
eg
LocalTime ltFromDB (contains 18:00 UTC)
LocalTime lt = new LocalTime(ltFromDB,
DateTimeZone.forID("Europe/Brussels"));

When I print lt, I get:18:00 UTC as if it had ignored the timezone in the
constructor.

Alternatively, say that I am in London (which I am):
LocalTime now = new LocalTime(), eg 17:55
Say that was coming from the DB

LocalTime asInBxl = new LocalTime(now,
DateTimeZone.forID("Europe/Brussels"));

I would expect asInBxl to show me 18:55 but it is still 17:55...

I must have misunderstood something obviously, but it seems that the
constructor with a TZ does nothing? Please correct me...

If I do:
DateTime dateTimeTodayBxl =
now.toDateTimeToday(DateTimeZone.forID("Europe/Brussels"));

I then get 2008-07-04T17:55:00+02:00 which is what I would expect BUT there
is a date that I do not need...

Many thanks

Benoit.
