I just tried to switch the locale of my browser (via a nice firefox plugin: quick locale switcher). When I do this, it seems, that convertDateTime displays the correct local time (relative to the selected locale). CurrentDateTime: timezone: sun.util.calendar.ZoneInfo[id="Etc/GMT+12",offset=-43200000,dstSavings=0,useDaylight=false,transitions=0,lastRule=null] | | Mittwoch, 12. Dezember 2007 00:52:13 | 2007-12-12 13:52:13.012 however: calling timeZoneSelector.select() seems to have no impact on convertDateTime at all. any ideas, what I am doing wrong? BTW: I'm using seam 2.0.0.GA View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4112245#...
