As an added bonus being able to update the current zoneinfo as mentioned here would be nice:

The WO 5.4 versions of the jars listed in the above KBase article contain zoneinfo.zip files that may not contain the very latest time zone info. So I would think that the procedure outlined in this KBase article could be used to update the time zone info.


Granted the java system itself needs its zoneinfo updating also, as SimpleDateFormatter also gets it wrong on that box, but I'm not sure how the two relate (i.e., if one takes precedence). Any ideas?

I believe that the zoneinfo.zip files in the various WO jars are used by JavaFoundation's NSTimeZone class whereas JVM timezone files are used by the Java TimeZone class. So there's no relationship between the two in that neither takes precedence; i.e., they're independent and would both need to be updated if both NSTimeZone and TimeZone are referenced in your code.


If I can at least get the NS* working as expected I can handle that until the java system itself is corrected.


I'd make copies of the original WO jars, follow the time zone info update procedure outlined in the KBase article, and give it a whirl. The worst that could happen would be that you'd have to restore the original jar versions.

Aloha,
Art
