Description Philip Aston

2010-07-22 08:32:38 EDT

Build Identifier: 2.2.0

SDODataHelper says:

    /**
     * The specified TimeZone will be used for all String to date object
     * conversions. By default the TimeZone from the JVM is used.
     */
    public void setTimeZone(TimeZone timeZone) {

This is incorrect. GMT is actually used if the timezone is not specified.

Reproducible: Always

Fixed, javadoc now reads:

    /**
     * The specified TimeZone will be used for all String to Date object
     * conversions.  By default the GMT time zone is used.
     */
