Hi,
I'm using Postgre 7.3.4 with the build 113 JDBC
drivers. I am using JSTL (jakarta implementation,
1.0.6) in a web-app running on Tomcat 4.1.30. When I
start my application (in a ServletContextListener), I
have this statement:
Config.set(event.getServletContext(),
Config.FMT_TIME_ZONE, Constants.TIMEZONE);
Where Constants.TIMEZONE = "Europe/Amsterdam"
The server is on New Zealand time, 12 hours ahead of
Amsterdam time.
I have database timestamp fields which are defined as
"DEFAULT now()".
When I browse the database with an explorer tool, the
timestamp is shown in the New Zealand time, eg "07 Mar
06:00". Local (Amsterdam) time is then 06 Mar 18:00.
However, if I try to display the timestamp with JSTL
<fmt:formatDate value="${row.msgTime}" pattern="dd MMM
HH:mm"/>
the time is shown as 07 Mar 12:00. Ie 6 hours before
NZ time instread of 12 hours later.
Any ideas? A bug in the driver? JSTL settings? The
server? My code? :)
Thanks
