Hello Leif;
1. Do I need to worry about setting the timezone in the EOModel for
all my NSTimestamp attributes? Or is calling
NSTimeZone.setDefaultTimeZone(NSTimeZone.getGMT()) in my Application
constructor good enough?
I'm not sure what that value is used for in the EOModel -- anybody know?
I do this in the Application constructor...
TimeZone tz = getTimeZone();
if(null!=tz)
{
TimeZone.setDefault(tz);
NSTimeZone.setDefault(tz);
if(getBootLogger().isLoggable(java.util.logging.Level.INFO))
getBootLogger().info("application timezone set to
'"+tz.getDisplayName()+"'");
}
I avoid use of NSTimeZone and NSTimestampFormatter in general though.
2. Do I need to worry about configuring Postgres to set it's default
timezone?
There is some coverage of this here;
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/interactive/datatype-datetime.html
However I have used PG extensively with WO and just using the
"TIMESTAMP" type which seems to result in no zone-adjusting.
3. How can I get the local timezone (of the browser client) so that
I can use it for my WOTextfield formatters (to display local time)?
Either guess this from information on the inbound domain / the
browser's headers or configure a time-zone in the database's records
for the authenticated user.
4. Anything else I need to worry about, or not thinking of?
Check out the following for some ideas even though you are probably
not using LEWOStuff;

Hope this helps.
cheers.
