The issue here (I'm guessing) is that the field is goingin and out of daylight savings time, and some bit of code isn't accounting for that. That's why when you pick a date back in January, you get a bump in time - because January is really one hour different from June.

You were right, it was EDT. The whole date thing has me a little perplexed. I setup the following: - computer time (GMT - made sure DST was off) - added GMT to inputDate Voila, no time change. My next step is to setup the server/pages this way and test on a client that is not GMT. Will the time be changed since the client has a different timezone? I've done a little google searching; but feel I'm missing the keywords I should be looking for. Suggestions on what I can read to understand dates/timezone better and how they impact the various JSF/java components? Thanks, Chris....
