Date and time conversion

[jeff mutonho]

One of my pages has the following field for entering time:

<input jsfc="h:inputText"  id="gmTime" value="#{game.gameTime}">
       <f:convertDateTime pattern="HH:mm"/>
     </input>

game.gameTime is mapped onto a variable

gametime

of type

java.util.Date

I have a logging statement in the

setGameTime

method that just prints out the date as :

if(gameTime!=null){
Calendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar();
calendar.setTime(gameTime);
log.info("Setting game time to "+calendar.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY)+":"+calendar.get(Calendar.MINUTE));
}

However ,when testing I'm getting times that are 2 hours ahead of the entered time of eg if I enter 06:30 then what gets printed(logged) is :

Setting game time to 8:30

What am I missing ?

I'm still battling to figure out whats causing this.Any ideas?

It's probably not your code at all. Whatever IDE you're using, you probably need to import a Daylight Saving Time Update for that IDE.

Also check to see what time zone the IDE thinks it's using.
