There isnt a direct way to Pull the Locale Time Zone in CFMX, you have use Native Classes to do this.
dateConvert() is NOT a clean solution..
Lets say you want to pull the Date/Time for "Australia/Melbourne" (EST)
To accomplish the above in the CFMX
1. Use dateConvert to GMT
2. Find the Time Difference and +/- to GMT to get the Date/Time for AUS - EST.
OR
Use Java Native Classes like
tz = createObject("Java", "java.util.TimeZone").getTimeZone("Australia/Melbourne");
df = createObject("java", "java.text.DateFormat").getDateTimeInstance();
df.setTimeZone(tz);
writeOutput(df.format(now());
This should really be implemented in CFMX with dateFormat() as an Overloaded Method.
dateFormat(now(), "DD-MM-YYYY", "Australia/Melbourne")

yes it sets the "locale". a locale isn't a timezone. what exactly do you
want to do?
