Hi,
I had similar problems on Solaris and Linux (but not on NT). I traced it
back to the way Sun defined their time zones in JDK1.1. In my case the
JDK defined "EST" which we (and Solaris) use as "(Australian) Eastern
Standard Time" (GMT +10) as "(American) Eastern Standard Time" (GMT -5).
According to the JDK1.1 API (look at the source in
java.util.Timezone.java) It should have been "AET" or "Australian
Eastern
Time" I suppose. I put the following code in my applications:
// Overcoming timezone bug
TimeZone timeZone = TimeZone.getTimeZone("AET");
TimeZone.setDefault(timeZone);
And everything worked after that. Apparently this has been fixed in JDK
1.2 on Unix, but I am yet to test it.
I hope this helps you out.
