Hi, I am using simple date format to allow users to specify which time zone they are sending data in:
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,z");
This works fine: e.g.
df.parse("2009-05-16 11:07:41,GMT");
However, if someone is always sending time in London time (i.e. taking into account daylight savings), what would be the approriate time zone String to add? e.g. this doesnt work:
df.parse("2009-05-16 11:07:41,Europe/London");
Thanks.
