Sadly, there is no such simple method in Joda-Time. One solution is to catch the exception and use DateTimeZone.nextTransition() to find the end of the gap. The code looks something like:
try { date = new LocalDateTime(2009, 2, 29, 2, 30).toDateTime().toDate() } catch (Exception ex) { DateTime dt = new LocalDateTime(2009, 2, 29, 2, 30).minusHours(2).toDateTime(); dt = new DateTime(timeZone.nextTransition(dt.getMillis())); date = dt.toDate(); } Stephen 2009/4/22 Den Orlov <den.or...@gmail.com>: > I have LocalDateTime that should be used in external code and so > converted to Date.
