Heh, yes. It seems that between the various sovereign lawmakers
around the world, the Sun Java library writers and the WO library
writers, it's nearly impossible to write clear, clean time
manipulation code.
I think this is the gods' way of keeping us from building time
machines with our software. Remember the Tower of Babel! :-)

This solution appears to cause problems with our apps. We get
this in the WO app log when starting up:
ZoneInfo: wrong magic number: UTC
ZoneInfo: /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/
1.5.0/Home/lib/zi/ZoneInfoMappings (No such file or directory)
Any ideas?
It appears to me that the zoneinfo files in /usr/share/
zoneinfo and those in the JavaVM framework have different magic
numbers as the first error message indicates:
Yes, after looking through our logs, this is the case. After
removing the 'zi' directory entirely, the VM reverted to using UTC.
It seems our magic trick didn't do much of anything ;)
After finding this, I tried copying the java Phoenix zoneinfo file
and replacing the java Los_Angeles one with it:
# cd /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/
Home/lib/zi/America
# sudo mv Los_Angeles Los_Angeles.old
# sudo cp Phoenix Los_Angeles
Phoenix doesn't switch to DST, so this seemed to fix it. I'm
hesitant to use it - timestamps set now for mid-April might be an
hour behind.
I hate time.
But since our data entry app only uses timestamps for checking date
and not datetime, we should be okay.
I'll take a look at javazic and see how it does at compiling
zoneinfo text files.
Whoopee,
Colin
