Bertrand Delacretaz commented on SLING-4258:
--------------------------------------------
Thanks for your examples - I'm seeing different results with the current Sling
trunk, in my case the output timezone is always the servers, see below. Which
version of Sling (or of the o.a.s.servlets.post bundle) are you testing against?
{code}
$ export P=8888
$ export T=test1234
$ curl -F 'date1=2015-01-07T12:00:00.000+04:00' -F 'date1@TypeHint=Date' -F
'date2=2015-01-07T12:42:00.000+0400' -F 'date2@TypeHint=Date'
http://admin:admin@localhost:$P/tmp/$T ; curl
http://admin:admin@localhost:$P/tmp/$T.tidy.json ; echo
...<html>
<title>Content modified /tmp/test1234</title>

"jcr:primaryType": "nt:unstructured",
"date2": "Wed Jan 07 2015 09:42:00 GMT+0100",
"date1": "Wed Jan 07 2015 09:00:00 GMT+0100"
}

> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Documentation
> Reporter: santiago garcía pimentel
>
> Im currently doing some things with dates in Sling that involve timezones and
> I find that the documentation regarding it is not particularly clear.
> according to
> https://sling.apache.org/documentation/bundles/manipulating-content-the-slingpostservlet-servlets-post.html#date-properties
> several formats are defined.
> I found that the only format that saves a provided timezone is the ISO8601
> format, rest of them relies in a Date object, which does not have timezones.
> Could this be clearly stated?
> Also, the ISO8601 parser is problematic. It relies on the Jackrabbit parser
> which uses format "±YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.SSSTZD", but according to
> http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime the ISO format does not have milliseconds
> on it ("SSS"). So it is very hard to find a way to keep the timezone
> information (I had to dig through the code to figure it out)
> Could we please replace ISO8601 with the actual format
> "±YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.SSSTZD" so it is clearer?
