The Foundation class is fixed by updating the Olson timezone data
(http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm) somewhere in the /Apple/
Library folder structure. Sorry, I'm not on a 4.5 box right now and
can't give you the entire path. This definitely works, we just
updated a bunch of servers.

Hi,
We are running WebObjects 4.5.1 for our applications on Solaris
environment (Solaris 8). We patched our servers for DST changes as
per the recommendations from Sun. I had previously also looked in
the lists and some experts suggested that OS time zone files in /
usr/share/lib/zoneinfo are used by WO 4.5, so I assumed that OS
patches itself would solve any possible issues. But now on March
11th at 2:00am our servers changed time but WO applications still
are getting time 1 hour behind the servers time.
We looked through the mailing lists and actually fixed a data class
(TimeZoneData) in the classes.zip of JDK 1.1.8 used in WebObjects
4.5.1. This fix solved the DST issues for Java 1.1.8, like problems
in the code where we are using Java's GregorianCalendar/Date
classes. Now this class get the time equal to the server's updaed
time.
But now the problem remaining is with WebObjects Foundation class
NSGregorianDate which is still getting time 1 hour behind the
server time. Since our server time has changed properly, I assume
that OS is patched properly and thus WO Foundation classes should
also work fine, but unfortunately it is not happening.
Any urgent insight or solution to this problem will be highly
appreciated. One direction I am thinking of is just replacing
NSGregorianDate with a wrapper class around GregorianCalendar of
JDK 1.1.8. Does it make sense or its too big an effort?
