Well all -

That really opened up a bad smelling can of worms. I also have always hated dates and times in Java and I guess I am not alone. It is truly one of the most obfuscating, self-referencing, deprecating API I have ever worked with, and that doesn't even include issues of a sql,timestamp too....

Sigh.. Maybe Mr. PA's "joda-time.sourceforge.net" link is the way to go. It is in the vein of having someone else do it.

I will investigate that first.

Sacha and I have a long running game of Hot Potato on this one.


Use GregorianCalendar, keep your wits about you, and resign yourself to writing some methods to make it work for you. You really have to decide what date and time means in your app and code according. This part does not "just work".

Any advice on best practices of working with NSTimeStamp instances, user time zones and Daylight Savings Time in WebObjects and date/time database fields?

My take is "working with Date/Time sucks in general

Right.
Wrong.

Suck it up and do like everybody else: write your own :o)

if you are able to distinguish between time, date and datetime it seems
pretty straightforward.
