I realize I had apparently statically set the timezone to GMT?
Maybe I did this for my database??
I had this in my app constructor
static {
// Set default time zones
//TimeZone.setDefault(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));
//NSTimeZone.setDefaultTimeZone(NSTimeZone.getGMT());
}
once I noticed those two line and commented them out, general <wo:str>’s zapped into a correct timezone on display - my component is another story but--
now I wonder if I’ll be storing my dates differently in the database?
