Answer 1

Hi,
I didnt get you, exactly what are you looking for.
Because, date and time are same for all the systems in specific region(LAN).
this can be achieved in different ways:
For example:#
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd");
Date d = new Date();
String today = df.formt(d);
System.out.println(today);
or
String[] ids = TimeZone.getAvailableIDs(1 * 60 * 60 * 1000);          
     SimpleTimeZone edt = new SimpleTimeZone(1 * 60 * 60 * 1000, ids[0]);
     edt.setStartRule(Calendar.APRIL, 1, Calendar.SUNDAY, 2 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
     edt.setEndRule(Calendar.OCTOBER, -1, Calendar.SUNDAY, 2 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
     Calendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar(edt);
     Date trialTime = new Date();
     calendar.setTime(trialTime);
     year = Integer.toString(calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR));          
     month = Integer.toString(calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH)+1);
     day = Integer.toString(calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH));
     currentdate = year+month+day;
System.out.println(currentdate);
