Is there any chance for this update to bring NSTimestamp's time zone
behavior in line with Java 1.4?
Up to now (and maybe still), NSTimeZone (like Java 1.3) made the
assumption that time zones are immutable. I.e. what's at GMT+1 today,
has always been at GMT+1. Java 1.4 on the other hand is aware of
historic changes. This introduces very annoying errors for all past
dates that precede the last such change. Each time such a date gets
converted between Apple classes and Sun classes (util.Date, sql.Date,
GregorianCalendar, SimpleDateFormatter,...) an error is introduced.

About the WebObjects DST Update (WebObjects 5.3.3)
This document contains an overview and download information for the
WebObjects DST Update. In March 2007, several countries will change
the way they observe Daylight Saving Time (DST), including the
United States and Canada. Many of the new 2007 time zone and
Daylight Saving Time rules for the United States and Canada were
anticipated but several other regions only recently adopted time
zone and DST changes.
To address these changes, WebObjects DST is a combined update that
addresses issues with the WebObjects supplied date classes using
the latest DST and time zone information available as of January 8,
2007 (2007-01-08). You should install these updates even if their
computer is not being used in an affected time zone.
WebObjects DST Update upgrades WebObjects components to version 5.3.3.
WebObjects DST Update is formally qualified for the Java 1.4.2
platform. The Java for Mac OS X 10.4, Release 5 updates the JDK 1.4
version on the Tiger. There are no known issues with the WebObjects
DST Update on J2SE 5.0 platform on Mac OS X.
Note: AppleCare Enterprise Support customers using earlier versions
of WebObjects should contact their support team for information on
patch availability.
Important: If you are deploying WebObjects as .war bundles or
Single Servlet Directory Deployments, you will need to rebuild with
WebObjects DST Update installed and redeploy the application.
