Hi,

I am writing a servlet for  a web based calendar
...but have problems while setting the User TimeZone

How do you set the TimeZone in the Calendar class

I am using :

    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
    TimeZone tz=calendar.getTimeZone();
    tz.setRawOffset(36000000);
    calendar.setTimeZone(tz);
    Date today = new Date();
    calendar.setTime(today);


This works perfectly..It gives me the time for
MelBourne
but when I print
  System.out.println(calendar.getTimeZone().getID());
its still gives the ID for my local TimeZone...and
thus does not adjust DST ....
Why is such a behaviour??

Please Help. This is Urgent..
Thanx in advance for a quick reply

Purav
