... and this is right! Especially when you transfer the date instance with serialization to other servers (possibly with a different system TZ) UTC is an absolute requirement. Remember that you have to set the TZ for SimpleDateFormat also, there is no explicit Magnolia default in this case, it's the Java runtime. Additionally I would avoid the usage of the 3-letter TZ codes (except for presentation), because they are not unique. - Jörg ---------------------------------------------------------------- For list details see http://www.magnolia-cms.com/home/community/mailing-lists.html To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <[email protected]> ----------------------------------------------------------------
