Timezone from offset

Hi Folks,
To retrieve the client time zone, i gathered the timezone offset through javascript from the client. And i need to produce timezone from this offset at the server side.
Hence please let me know, if there is any chance to produce the timezone from the offset value.
Note: i tried TimeZone.setRawOffset , but it changes the offset but not the time zone.
Thanks,
Vivek

  • Finding out timezone from TimeZone offset

    Hi,
    I'm using JavaScript to find out the local time on client, setting it to a cookie.
    I then retrieve the value in a JSP page to find out the correction necessary for adjusting the time (in UTC) to local time. The problem, however, is that JavaScript returns the Daylight Savings Offset and the Zone_offset as one total, making it impossible to find out what TimeZone this Offset maps to.
    My utility class is using the myCalendarObj.setTimeZone (tz) to adjust the time stamp.
    Any suggestions on how I could find out what TimeZone my offset maps to, or any other suggestion??
    Regards,
    Mark

    And what to do with problem of Daylight Saving Time? Not all countries use it. For instance, try to get all TimeZone IDs for GMT +00:00...
    For this moment, I see only 2 solution: write a little applet, that will be detect TimeZone of client or lets user to detect his location (like in "Settings" for this page - top right corner). But it's bad solutions.

  • Change timezone from command

    how to change timezone from command in windows server 2008
    Sudhir

    Hi,
    1. Open an elevated "Command Prompt".
    2. Now provide any of following commands:
    tzutil /g (To know current time zone)
    tzutil /l (To get a list of all available time zones)
    tzutil /s time_zone_ID (To change time zone)
    Fox example, if you want to set the time zone to "Pacific Standard Time", then the command would be:
    tzutil /s "Pacific Standard Time"
    Best regards,

  • How to delete unwanted timezones from Calendar app on Yosemite?

    I upgraded to Yosemite and one of the problems I had with Calendar App had something to do with Time Zone.
    I realized that Calendar added California time as default. So now I want to delete the unwanted time zone, but cannot find a way to do so.
    How does one remove or uncheck a time zone in iCal (Mountain Lion)?
    I found this forum and tried, but as the last person who posted said, it doesn't work on Yosemite.
    Does anyone know to delete unwanted timezones from Calendar App on Yosemite?
    Thanks.

    Thank you for your response.
    However, I am not asking about how to change the timezone on Mac. I'm asking about how to delete unwanted timezones on Calendar app.
    Here I have 2 Pacific Time's. They are basically the same, but sometimes my computer choses one of the other without my intention. And when it does, it keeps showing (PST) on next to the starting time which I do not want. In order to avoid that, I'd like to delete "Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles)". From the link you provided, I'm not finding the solution to this. I might be looking at a wrong spot and if so please be patient to guide me through.
    If my question still doesn't make sense, please click the link to the solution for the same problem on Mountain Lion in my original question. You might understand my question better from it.
    Thank you.

  • Timezone from location?

    Seems like this should be an easy one but I didn't see the answer in the Spatial Docs or a reference on the forum: Is there a built-in to determine the local timezone from a point?

    There is no built-in geospatial time zone information within Oracle Spatial (or other parts of Oracle for that matter). I am certain you could find a web service etc. that might respond with this info. or you could easily download something like a shapefile (http://edcftp.cr.usgs.gov/pub/data/nationalatlas/timeznp020.tar.gz) with this info. whereby you could use something like Oracle Map Builder (http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/mapviewer/index.html) to load it into the database. There are lots of solution to choose from, but none come with Oracle today.

  • Default timezone from Web calendar (currently UTC)

    When I create an event using the Web calendar, it seems to use UTC as the time zone. This causes a problem when I go into iCal and see that the event is several hours off compared to what I set when I created the event. I can edit the event in iCal to use my local timezone (PST), but I'm wondering if there is a way to set the default timezone when creating events using the Web calendar?
    Patrick

    As far as I can see from looking at the saved CalDAV data, iCal and Sunbird save timezone info for each calendar entry whereas the WebCalendar saves none.
    This is fine if you are working only with the web calendar or you specify no timezone data in your external client (iCal, Sunbird, etc), but is unusable otherwise.
    There are four things that need to be addressed here as I see it.
    1) The iCal Server software needs to use the timezone info from the settings on the server machine to set its internal values.
    2) The web calendar software needs to use (1) as a default for all new web calendar accounts.
    3) The web UI needs to have a way to set a timezone value in the "Settings" page of the users and the groups.
    4) The web calendar needs to read and save this timezone data with each entry to/from the CalDAV server.
    Until Apple does this the system is unusable except in tightly controlled environments as more diligent users will set their timezone data in other applications such as iCal, Sunbird, or others that are coming out.
    Any comments on this from Apple Tech?

  • How to prevent New Window from offsetting location from previous windows?

    I'm anal retentive. I like a tidy screen. I place all Firefox windows at top left corner of the screen. Each successive New Window arrives offset a small distance to the right, so that it does not cover the previous window. That's terrific, except... I do not want that behavior. I am constantly repositioning the New Window so that it too starts at the top left corner of the screen. It would be delightful if there were a Preferences option to allow New Windows to NOT be automatically offset to the right of the previous Firefox window.

  • Timezone from portal user settings not used in DateNavigator

    Hi experts
    I'm facing a problem with DateNavigator component.
    There is a WDJ application that used with different timezones in NW Portal.
    In the app there is a DateNavigator which bound to the date context attribute.
    When user select some date in DateNavigator, system converts selected date to the context using system default timezone, rather than timezone in portal user settings. This leads to the fact that the time in context is wrong - the system considers that user works in "Default" timezone but really user works in its own timezone, which different with default.
    If I force TimeZone.setDefault(WDClientUser.getCurrentUser().getTimeZone()) everything works fine, but this is an empty and wrong way.
    I'm using NW 7.2 CE.
    Thanks in advice, how to solve this issue!

  • Preserving Timezone from Java to XML

    Hi,
    I am writing a web-service for date time functions.
    In the response for my web-service, I will send a time (xsd:time) say 4 PM EST. But when the marshalling happens, the 16:00:00-05:00 is automatically converted to 21:00:00Z. (EST to GMT conversion happends automatically). But i dont want this to happen, the caller should see the timezone I am sending them.
    The xml data type is xsd:time and the corresponding Java Object is java.util.Calendar.
    Is there a way to do this.
    Thanks in advance for your replies.

  • Time offset is not set properly when db is in Eire timezone

    Hi,
    We are using oracle 10g database (10.2.0.4) on Solaris box (sparc) for an enterprise product in Eire timezone. we see Oracle time offset set as "+01:00" for one of the db column whose data type is TIMESTAMP(6) WITH TIMEZONE. As per the Eire timezone, time offset should be
    March 27, 2011 to Oct 30, 2011 --> +01:00
    Oct 31, 2010 to March 26, 2011 --> +00:00
    So time offset set in the oracle db is incorrect. Please let us know whether this is known issue on this db version and any configuration missed in the db.
    Thanks,
    Periyasamy

    With horizontalScrollPolicy="off" (the default), it is hard to control
    column widths because the columns are sometimes overridden to make sure they
    fit on the screen.

  • In Lightning different events with different timezones shows incorrect timezone description, mostly from Africa.

    I discovered that the e-mail appilcation we are using (Thunderbird) has errors with timezones. For example:
    In my calendar, I created 3 events (with these names: Budapest, Kiev, Monaco)
    Then I set the Budapest event the Budapest (+1) timezone, for the Kiev event the timezone in Kiev (+2) and for Monaco the timezone in Monaco.
    I saved everything, then in Thunderbird I opened these events one by one. The first was ok, but the Kiev event showd a timezone from Africa. The third event was ok too. Then I started opening again these three events, but now the first, the Budapest event shows the timezone from Africa.
    Meanwhile if I opened these three events from Firefox, from under my Google Mail account, everything was ok. All timezones are fine.

    Same here. My university has unfortunately subscribed to a Microsoft monoculture involving Exchange and Outlook. Our team is trying to use the new Outlook calendar scheduling function. Our PM has sent meeting invites for 3 mtgs, one of them: Thursday, 27 March 2008 1:00 PM-2:30 PM. Her Outlook interface is correctly set to GMT +10h Brisbane EST.
    When I open the .ics attachment on my MacBook Pro in iCal, the meeting is created for Thursday, 27 March 2008 11:00 PM to Fri 28th 12:30 AM, that is, 10 hours in advance. It seems that at some stage the time difference GMT +10h is added twice. My iCal is set to Brisbane timezone too.
    However, I have received other .ics files (I assume from non Outlook Exchange users) and they work fine and the times are displayed correctly. I am also subscribed to a number of shared calendars some of which are not iCal specific and I don't have timezone issues there either. So I'm wondering who's to blame? Microsoft for making Outlook issue non-standard ics files or Apple for not being able to read them properly?
    Is there a fix?

  • Reading the TimeZone information from a Request in an ADF based WebApp

    Hi,
    I am new to Oracle ADF and I have to develop a web-app for administering a Single-Sign-On application by using ADF and JSFs technologies.
    How can I get the timezone from the request sent by the client browser?
    Help is highly appreciated.

    Thanks John,
    I appreciate your time.
    Looks like you got answers to all my questions. For the Timezone issue, I realized (back then), that there is no way you can get that in the HTTP protocol, there are some other tips out there like forcing the client browser to provide that information by running a javaScript function.
    Thanks for the password text field issue, I will take another direction from there.

  • Calculate local time based on timezone offset

    I am sure this question has been answered many times. but if you can explain me how to calculate local time based on the timezone offset.
    for instance, I am in central time zone. but i want to display local pacific time on my page. I have the timezone offset as -420 minutes.
    Thanks in advance.
    KM

    given a database table tzdata composed of time zone names and tz offset
    i want to be able to display the corresponding Date / Time of each country
    based on the time zone offset .
    in the offsets i posted above i found things like +10.5 ,-1.2 ect..
    how to convert those into the correct format so i can feed it to SimpleTimeZone() construtor ?Why would you want to?
    I am just pointing out here that java already has all those timezones and offsets configured into it. As well as if/when DST applies.
    String[] zones = TimeZone.getAvailableIDs();
            for (int i=0; i<zones.length; i++){
              System.out.println("Zone " + i + " = " + zones[i] + " offset = " + TimeZone.getTimeZone(zones).getRawOffset());
    In other words this database table is reinventing the wheel.
    You just need to tell Java which Timezone you want (according to the standard names for timezones begin Region/City) and it will work out the correct offset.
    eg
    for Afghanistan: new TimeZone("Asia/Kabul");
    Albania: new TimeZone("Europe/Tirane");

  • DateFormat Z has wrong offset ?

    Been adding TimeZone i18n to an application and have found that the GMT offset for some of the timezones found within the JVM doesnt match their names. This is best explained with an example
    import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
    import java.util.Calendar;
    import java.util.Locale;
    import java.util.TimeZone;
    public class TimeZoneTest {
        public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
            SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("Z", Locale.getDefault());
            TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone("Etc/GMT+8");
            formatter.setTimeZone(tz);
            String offset = formatter.format(Calendar.getInstance().getTime());
            System.out.println("TimeZone ID: " + tz.getID());
            System.out.println("TimeZone GMT Offset(Z): " + offset);
    }when i run this code i get the following result:
    TimeZone ID: Etc/GMT+8
    TimeZone GMT Offset(Z): -0800
    Based on the timezone id i would expect the offset(Z) to be +0800.
    Can someone please explain this to me.
    Thanks
    Sam

    That is because "Etc/GMT+8" came from the UNIX world which handles GMT offsets the other way around. If you need GMT+8, you could use "GMT+8" which is called a `custom' time zone ID. It's normalized to "GMT+08:00" in getTimeZone().
