From the Seam documentation:
<s:convertDateTime>: Perform date or time conversions in the Seam timezone.
Snippet from the docs on when "Seam timezone" means:
There is also a session-scoped instance of java.util.Timezone, named
org.jboss.seam.core.timezone, and a Seam component for changing the
timezone named org.jboss.seam.core.timezoneSelector. By default, the
timezone is the default timezone of the server.
Meaning that it defaults to the server's timezone, but the user can
override this value by storing a value in their session that will
allow seam to use a time zone of their own choosing.

Hi Andrew,
When you say user's locale do u also mean that the the tag will use the
timezone information from the user's browser instead of using the server
timezone?
could you throw some more light on it?
Rgds,
