[hibernate-users] TimestampType converts to localtime?

[Robert Nicholson]

So,

if the default timezone for my vm is say CST

and I parse a date that's in GMT using a SimpleDateFormat ('z') and  
get a Date object. That gives me a Date ie. timestamp.

If I want to store that via TimestampType to the database will it  
store the time in local/default timezone and not GMT?

Do I have to write my own CustomType if I do not wish it to store the  
time as a local time?

If I want to store the time as UTC do I have to use a Calendar in the  
user defined type that converts the Date to UTC?
