I have a DateTextField to which I am adding a DatePicker. The Display works fine: if I select 4/1/2009 using the DatePicker and I save the form data to my database, then populate the form again from values in the database, I am seeing 4/1/2009.
But when I look at my database I see that the stored date is actually 3/31/2009 23:00:00, which is 1 hour before 4/1/2009. This does not seem to be a Locale issue (that I can tell), as I am running everything on my local machine. Also, the odd thing is that when I select 4/1/2009 through 4/5/2009 I get a date stored in my database which is 1 hour before the selected date. But when I select anything from 4/6/2009 through 4/30/2009 the date is stored correctly. I added log statements when the info is loaded from the database and before it is persisted, and the issue is within the web application. When I print the dates before persisting them to the database they are wrong by 1 hour, for 4/1/2009 through 4/5/2009. I had the same issue with yui.DateField, but I'm not sure if this is a YUI DatePicker issue or something else I am not considering or doing correctly. Here's a snippet of my code: DateTextField appointmentPickerTextField = new DateTextField("dayOfYear", new PropertyModel(appointment, "dayOfYear"), new StyleDateConverter(false)) { @Override public boolean isVisible() { return appointment.getScheduledDate() != null; } }; appointmentPickerTextField .setRequired(true); appointmentPickerTextField .add(new DatePicker()); Any thoughts?
