Adriano Crestani commented on TUSCANY-1659:
-------------------------------------------
These failures have nothing to do with Linux at all.
It's failing because when the Date object is formatted by a SimpleDateObject,
the time zone is formatted as GTM +-HH:mm format, and not as the abbreviation
format (for example: PDT). However, the DataHelperImpl.toDate() is expecting a
time zone formatted only as abbreviation, probably because the sdo date format
defines it on its spec, but it's not really clear about it.
Unfortunately, it seems you cannot define whether the time zone is formatted as
GMT format or abbreviation format. It seems env-dependent, because I'm getting
the same problem on Windows XP. On XP, the problem seems to be a bug reported
at: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6390869. It happens when
you check or not the option 'Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving
changes' on XP date/time settings, when it's checked, the time zone is
formatted as abbreviation, otherwise it's formatted as GMT format.
I think there are 2 solutions, I could replace the GMT +-HH:mm format by the
abbreviation format on the String returned by the SimpleDateFormat.format()
method, but it would fix only the testcases, and each SDO user will still get
trouble with it. Or I can modify the toDate() method to also accept the GMT
format, but I'm not sure it would be according SDO spec.
I have raised some question about whether SDO should accept GMT format or not
