Hi Peter & HuiSheng,
I don't think the workflow engine should deal with things like timezones, DST or any
kind of internationalization, that's not the job of the workflow engine. All dates and
times the engine is dealing with should be UTC. Internationalization and localization,
including calculating the local time for a specific user should happen in the user
interface layer not in the core workflow engine.
The business calendar is a different story, right now there is a single business calendar
per engine instance, and this doesn't cover all usecases. There might be users in
different countries with different holidays. Having a business calendar per user seems to
be a better approach but also a lot of overhead since most calendars are probably the
same, but to me this seems to be the only change that is neccessary in jBPM4 to do
localization.
Of course I might miss something, so please let me know if you think this wouldn't
work...
