I have a requirement to drive the joda TimeZone from the timezone data provided by IATA - I work in the Travel industry and the hosts seems to use the IATA data for timezones.
The IATA data is not as feature rich as OlsonDB. IATA does not have data prior to 1999 and does not have recurring rules as in OlsonDB. I am thinking of somehow using the OlsonDb for filling the missing years - past and future. Has anyone done this before? Any pointers to how to achieve this will be very useful to me. Also does anyone know if the OlsonDB and IATA data differs a lot. We need zero downtime during config updates (including tz data update), which would warrant a different TimeZoneProvider implementation that is capable of reloading the data. This was one of the many many reasons for choosing Joda over jdk Calendar/Date. -vijay _______________________________________________ Joda-interest mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/joda-interest
