Urgent : Timezone conversion issue

Question

Hi,
I am having an issue in timezone conversion.Im trying to convert a date type value to server timzone before insert into table. Im writing the conversion code in validateEntity(). Im using OANLSServices methods for conversion.Since i have to pass java.util.Date to this convertTimezone() as first parameter(date to be converted),im converting the reqd date which is in oracle Date type to java util Date type. Function is returing java.util.date type, which is again converted to oracle Date type. then im passing this value to the setMethod, ie., setJoiningDate(Date ) in my case.
the code is compiled with 0 errors. But wen i run the page and after entering date value and click save button , its throwing some exception like "oracle.jbo.ValidationException: JBO-28200: Validation threshold limit reached. Invalid Entities still in cache"
and in the debug console, this code in the validateEntity() is executed 10 times. First time it is converting the date time value to date only format, then same this is executed 9 more times. Can anyone help to resolve this issue? Its very urgent.
Thanks

Harsha,
Use this code and try again...!
oracle.jbo.domain.Date join = getJoiningDate();
// to convert oracle Date to Java util Date
java.sql.Date joinSql =(java.sql.Date)join.dateValue();
java.util.Date jdateUtil =
getOADBTransaction().getOANLSServices().convertTimezone(joinSql,
getOADBTransaction().getOANLSServices().getUserTimeZoneCode(),
getOADBTransaction().getOANLSServices().getServerTimeZoneCode());
// to convert back to oracle Date
java.sql.Date jdateSql = new java.sql.Date(jdateUtil.getTime());
oracle.jbo.domain.Date jdate = new oracle.jbo.domain.Date(jdateSql);
setJoiningDate(jdate);
