Thanks Barend. How the same can be acheived using DateTime? I did following operations client side with timezone IST.
>From client side I used withZone, passed server timezone id, to convert >Datetime object of client timezone(IST) to DateTimeobject of server >timezone(PST/PDT). I tried printing DateTime and it gave me correct server >timezone. But my ultimate aim is to fetch the date object . So I used DateTime.toDate(). The resultant gave me client time. Can you please help in this regard? Thanks again. Suganthi. --- On Thu, 4/23/09, W.B. Garvelink <barend.garvel...@gmail.com> wrote: > From: W.B.
