s:convertDateTime subtract 1 day

[rengar]

I I put in code:

<s:convertDateTime pattern="dd/MM/yyyy"/>

And in page put in input text "01/02/2007". It convert it to "31/01/2007".

If i use custom DateConverter:

<f:converter converterId="com.minalink.reservas.converters.DateConverter" />

package com.minalink.reservas.converters;

import javax.faces.convert.DateTimeConverter;

public class DateConverter extends DateTimeConverter {

 public static final String pattern = "dd/MM/yyyy";

 public DateConverter(){
 this.setPattern(pattern);
 }

}

This works fine.

Is a bug?

This probably has nothing to do with it, but out of interest which version of Java are you using?

[rengar]

I use "Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.6.0-b105, mixed mode)" and Jboss 4.0.5.

It's a known issue with dateConverter. By default GMT is used. If your server isn't in GMT+1, then... the first day of a month can become the last day of the previous month!

To avoid this:
- fixe timezone explicitly
- use joda library
- use a converter as the one you tested
- ...

If your server is in GMT+1

indeed

Sorry for the noise.
