Brian Murray commented on TUSCANY-582:
--------------------------------------

Kelvin,

Thank you for looking at this patch and test case.

I tested it on my machine and it ran correctly (both earlier and just now).  
What time zone are you in and about what time did you run the test case?  I 
think it's likely that one of these two variables is causing it to run 
correctly for me and fail for you.  What I'm unsure of is whether the test case 
or the patch has been revealed to be faulty by your unsuccessful run.

Thank you,

Brian Murray

>       System.out.println("temp = " + temp); // temp = Fri Jul 21 03:51:01 EDT

>       String day = data_helper.toDay(temp);
>       System.out.println("day = " + day); // day = ---21 EDT
>       Date date2 = data_helper.toDate(day);
>       System.out.println("date2 = " + date2); // date2 = Thu Feb 29 23:00:00 
> EST 1968
>       String day2 = data_helper.toDay(date2);
>       System.out.println("day2 = " + day2); // day2 = ---29 EST
>    }
>    When I look in DataHelperImpl.java, I see a series of Date Patterns. It 
> seems that Day is being matched to an earlier pattern than the expected one 
> (the expected one is "---dd zz"). When I move that pattern to first in the 
> list, the outcome is affected.  Were it not matching an earlier pattern, I 
> would think that moving the correct one to the front of the  list would not 
> have an effect.
>    Leaving DataHelperImpl.java unaltered, Day = 21 EDT, and Day2 = 29 EST (in 
> the case above). However, if I put the appropriate pattern first in the list, 
> Day2 is instead = 20 EST. Interestingly, it is still not the correct day 
> (21). 
> Frank pointed out that there have been recent updates to DataHelper, however 
> I've retested with build level 425652 and see the same behavior.
> Side note:
>    The following is not a JIRA issue, but it is related.  In the second table 
> on page 146 the Date conversions for most types are essentially to the same  
> type, to Date, and to String. It seems that several more are possible. The 
> following seem capable of being added:
>       DateTime-> Month, MonthDay, YearMonth, YearMonthDay, Time, Year, 
> Duration, Day
>       Duration->Month, MonthDay, YearMonth, YearMonthDay, Time, Year, 
> DateTime, Day
>       MonthDay->Month, Day
>       YearMonth->Month, Year
>       YearMonthDay->Month, Year, Day, YearMonth, MonthDay
