I hope this is not a repeat. I checked other searches here and all of them seem to talk about "displaying" the date in the right TimeZone format using SimpleDateFormat.
However, my problem is I obtain an XMLGregorianCalendar Object which is let us say in "CET".
I have to find out the format from this object and send the current time also in the same TimeZone as the server.
For eg: I need an XMLGregorianCalendar Object that returns me in this format(with Timezone):
2012-09-19T15:23:36.421+02:00
So I just tried this following snippet which seems to only return the time in local Timezone :(
TimeZone utc = TimeZone.getTimeZone("CET");
GregorianCalendar gc = new GregorianCalendar();
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ssZ");
df.setTimeZone(utc);
System.out.println(" - Gregorian UTC [" + df.format(gc.getTime()) + "]")
XMLGregorianCalendar currServTime = DatatypeFactory.newInstance().newXMLGregorianCalendar(gc);
System.out.println("currServTime is "+currServTime);
