Conversion to date types which do not include month can give incorrect results
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: TUSCANY-701
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TUSCANY-701
Project: Tuscany
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Java SDO Implementation
Environment: Problem exists when running Sun JVM (is not seen on IBM
JVM)
Reporter: Brian Murray
Priority: Minor
DateConversionTestCase.java made evident an issue corrected in Tuscany-582.
However, when it was introduced into the Tuscany stream an additional error was
seen sporadically (repeatedly for a given individual, but for a set of
individuals only a subset would see the problem). This JIRA will address the
additional error.
The reason the problem is seen only by a subset of people is that it is JVM
specific. When it is seen (as it is with the Sun JVM), the nature of the
problem is to report Day, Hour, and even Year values as X - 1, where X is the
correct value. The problem occurs when the requested date format does not
include a month (e.g. toYear, toDay). The truncated month is assigned a value
of January, and the Sun JVM may then (depending on the TimeZone, northern
versus southern hemisphere, and the month in which the test is run) change the
time to reflect the change to or from daylight savings time.
The reason it can have an impact on toYear is that toYear() for an input date
of Wednesday September 6, 2006 03:16:20.382 would result in an interim value of
Sunday January 1, 2006 00:00:00.000. In the case where an error is seen, an
adjustment is made for daylight savings time to Saturday December 31, 2005
23:00:00.000. As such, toYear erroneously returns a value of 2005 for the
input date (in the error case).
Would a committer please assign this issue to me?.
