Converting date value one day less while transfering from client to server

Question

Hi,
I have very typical problem. My application is in java, we are using oralce 9ias. The problem when the server is running in german locale and client is running in english. We the date value is passed from client to server it is converting to one day less.
i.e.
If i want to search with records jan 02,2005,
on server side if we print the value it is getting as jan 01,2005.
Can anybody help me in solving the above problem.
Its bit very urgent.
Thanks in advance
regards
Kalyan

Answer 1

// to get  current time in Germany
    Calendar cal = new GregorianCalendar(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Germany"));
    int hour12 = cal.get(Calendar.HOUR);
    int minutes = cal.get(Calendar.MINUTE);    
    int seconds = cal.get(Calendar.SECOND); 
    boolean am = cal.get(Calendar.AM_PM) == Calendar.AM;
    //I think all you need to do is to set the timezone to the current, so that when the
//server at some other timezone gets this date it knows that this date belongs to
//different timezone and gets converted automatically according to the server
//timezone settings.
    // Set the current local timezone
    cal.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getDefault());
    int hour24 = cal.get(Calendar.HOUR);
  Hope this answers your question. Good luck.
