Re: timezone issue

[Pierre Metrailler - shockfish /]

I thought that the timezone had nothing to do with Orion, too. But when I 
run the same code in a standalone application (i.e. not loading the class 
within Orion), I get a correct behaviour. And I'm using the same VM.

So, the standalone app yields a timezone w/ DST and a class within Orion 
yields a TZ wo/ DST.

Weird. Any idea ?

Pierre

Re: timezone issue

[Romen Law]

ello,

Timezone is implemented as part of JDK, has nothing to do with the
application servers. I noticed that JDK1.3.0 had problems with timezone for
Sydney (Sydney had special daylight saving in year 2000 due to Olympic). But
JDK1.3.1 had fixed the problem.
