Ability to transform dates/timezones from/to timezones
------------------------------------------------------

         Key: HHH-2438
         URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2438
     Project: Hibernate3
        Type: New Feature

  Components: core  
 Environment: all
    Reporter: Uzay Takaoglu


when date or timestamp are retrieved from the database, almost all the applications utilizing hibernate require some type of formatting especially applications serving users accross multiple timezones require time/date change to these timezones. Currently applications do custom coding to handle this circumstece. Hibernate can provide such functionality simplifying usability. 

Such parameters can be set at the hib session level for dates/timestamps. API caller would set databases timezone info, e.g. GMT and set timezone desired while extracting the data e.g. EST. When the data is loaded, conversion automatically happens. It could be applicable to both read and write.
