f:convertDateTime -- STRANGE PROBLEM

[salski22]

Hi all

I have strange problem with displaying date.

I have private Date startDate in my entity. lets say date in database is 09/10/13

when I will use

<h:outputText value="#{e.startDate}" >
</h:outputText>

that's fine I will get 10/13/2009
but I want my date with pattern dd-MM-yyyy so I used

<h:outputText value="#{e.startDate}" >
         <f:convertDateTime pattern="dd-MM-yyyy"/>
 </h:outputText>

and I get date 12-10-2009 it one day before. WHY IT IS LIKE THAT?????

Hi Piotr,

I don't know why is it working this way, but here's a workaround I'm using:

<h:outputLabel value="#{session.date}">
  <f:convertDateTime pattern="dd-MM-yyyy" timeZone="CET"/>
</h:outputLabel>

So if You set timeZone property it will show the correct date.
