Hello. I never topught was such a pain in the ass. but after reading a little bit, even on PWO, (btw when I read what Chuck wrote in the book, : Unfortunatley, there is no easy fix for this..." on page 231, I was starting for freak out), what I did was using the NSTimestampFormatter.
what I did was the following and it did work,.

NSTimestampFormatter formatter = new NSTimestampFormatter("%H:%M:%S %z");
formatter.setDefaultFormatTimeZone(new NSTimeZone().localTimeZone());
String des = formatter.format(ts);


then I just need to use des...

I know in the WOTextField, or WOString I can use the "format" bidding, gotta try that one as well.. so far the above worked.

Hello Gus;

Is your application server running in GMT. It is best to store your date/time data relative to GMT and then to convert it to a user's timezone using formatters in your user interface.

cheers.

Hello I have an attribute in a table called Start_Date_Time. which is a timestamp in the db schema. in the EOModel I used a dateTime prototype and external type timestamp and data type Timestamp- NSTimestamp T
I have the following data in that attribute

-1-12-30 09:00:00 -0500
-1-12-30 12:00:00 -0500
-1-12-30 15:00:00 -0500
-1-12-30 18:00:00 -0500

After I fetch all those, and print them Im getting the following
1-01-01 14:00:00 Etc/GMT
1-01-01 17:00:00 Etc/GMT
1-01-01 20:00:00 Etc/GMT
1-01-01 23:00:00 Etc/GMT

As you can see the 3 hours diference between times still remains even in the weird output.
