Bertrand Delacretaz commented on SLING-4258:
--------------------------------------------
bq. Anyway, does this means that keeping the original timezone is not supported
by sling?
AFAIK this was not a requirement so far, if you need it that should be
discussed on the sling dev list.

> Key: SLING-4258
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-4258
> 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?
