1 hour offset in Timezone

NJ No1
Hi,

I was having some problems with getting the right time in Tomcat and Orbeon so I added:

set JAVA_OPTS=-Duser.timezone=Australia/Sydney

to catalina.bat and now Tomcat recognizes the time properly. However when I use functions like current-dateTime() (in XSL) or now() (in Xforms) the time comes one hour ahead. I believe this problem is due to Daylight savings.

Any ideas on what I should do?

Cheers,
Naman

Naman,

Do you see the same problem calling new Date().toString()? In other
words, I am wondering if this problem is surfacing at the XPath level,
or at the Java level.

I did a basic java program and the date showed up fine. Also tomcat logs
are showing the right time and as is liferay. Only orbeon is 1 hour off,

Naman,

OK - The next thing you might want to try is to reproduce the problem
with a stylesheet that uses now(), calling that stylesheet from the
command line using Saxon directly. See the page below for
documentation on how to run Saxon from the command line. (You might
want to download the Saxon distribution separately so using it from
the command line works out of the box, instead of using the Saxon jar
files under WEB-INF/lib.)

Re: 1 hour offset in Timezone

bsteuhl
Alex,

I have similiar issue.  I extracted just the date from now() and use it in part of document names and noticed that when I was searching for documents could not find it because the date was one day ahead once 8pm rolled around.  Just put the now() function to see the time and it is 4 hours ahead?  What setting would change the timezone?  Thanks.

Brian,

Would using current-dateTime() solve the problem? It returns the
current time with a timezone. E.g. right now, here in Pacific time it
is is: 2010-06-25T17:24:07.467-07:00. This is 5:24 pm, local time, but
because there is a timezone (-7), you should be fine when comparing it
with other xs:dateTime, even if they have a different timezone.
