Thank you Chuck,
As you suggested, I modified the setDate method to set the time to the 12:00 noon and set the server Time Zone to Mexico/General and now the dates are displayed correctly.
Thank you very much Chuck,
Daniel.

This is good for some purposes, but not when all you care about is the date. You can work around this with Java timestamps by setting the time to 12:00 noon when you create the date. This will work as long as your app is not used across more than 11 hours of time zones. You can set the time with a formatter or in the setDate... methods of your EO.
