Subject: Re: how to show timezone specific time


hi

I know the use of java script but i don't want to use it as it takes the
machine time which is not good as it may not be true that somebody has
assigned correct date or time in his machine.

Now about the SimpleDateFormat class, so i used that but it didn't worked. I
made the date object by giving it the japanese time zone and its locale and
my machine is set to GMT timezone. But it didn't worked.

Following is the code snippet.......

TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC");
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance(tz, new Locale("ja", "JP"));
System.out.println(c.getTime());

Now can anybody help why it doesn't work.
