Not anymore. The need has arisen :-)

I really do hope this madness is reduced for the future in WO5.4+
I have been thinking of writing something that can be run on a
machine with a WebObjects deployment that will answer the question
"What the heck is on this system?", which would identify the
versions of various WebObjects things that have gotten installed.
It looks as though this would be a useful question to have answered.
Yeah, that'd be very useful. Any chance you got around to this?
As an added bonus being able to update the current zoneinfo as
mentioned here would be nice:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305219
I just recently discovered that this is part of the cause of some
unexpected timestamp shifts for a deployment server (set up with java
1.4.2/WO5.2). I assumed that embedding all the frameworks for 5.3.x
in the deployed application would mean the app would have available
the latest timezone info. But when formatting a known timestamp in
the correct timezone the result is wrong :-/
Granted the java system itself needs its zoneinfo updating also, as
SimpleDateFormatter also gets it wrong on that box, but I'm not sure
how the two relate (i.e., if one takes precedence). Any ideas?
If I can at least get the NS* working as expected I can handle that
until the java system itself is corrected.
with regards,
