Subject: Re: [OT] Date Localization
The SimpleDateFormat has a setTimeZone() method (coming from DateFormat).
The locale doesn't have timezone information, locale is about language and countries. Countries may have several different timezones so there is no accurate way to map them to timezones. I normally allow users to pick their own timezone and store that in some preference settings for them. Then display date/time using that timezone.

Hi All,
I have a Date stored in GMT format in database. Now I need to display this date to user depending on his/her LOCALE. I found SimpleDateFormat and few other classes to convert the Date Format, but I am not able to find how to change the Date value as per user locale.
Example: Date in database : 19 August 2004 6:30 PM
Date for User from India should be : 19 August 2004 1:00 PM
How to achieve this .???
TIA, Viral
