Alex, if I'm in California, USA, and I'm deploying my web application to a server in Greece, and someone in Japan uses my application, which time zone should the web application use, and how should the web server determine which time zone to use? Alexander Kolesnikov wrote: > I have just fou

Well, I don't know exactly how you implement your application. In my case, the users select their location by country/city and that location has a time zone ID associated with it.

I can't reproduce this. Can you attach a war file to the issue (or just send it to me directly) ? Receiving GMT is what I would expect us to do if we didn't support the timezones you were specifying, but if you're just iterating over getAvailableIDs() I can't think of a reason this would happen:
