CF9 and Flex timezone issue

[jfb00]

Hi all,

I have this issue:

Apache Flex Users - Time zone issue

I am stuck trying to set the MyProxyBootstrapService example described in

FLEX: Handling Timezone Offset - Stack Overflow

Anyone from here can help?

Thanks in advanced.

This is the solution to my issue

http://flexblog.faratasystems.com/index.php/flex-local-datestime-transfer-issue/

I copied the LineItemDTO.java file into C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot\WEB-INF\classes

as package com;

import java.io.Serializable; ...bla...

In My app i have the folder src\com, I add the file to this folder as:

package com

{

        import flash.events.EventDispatcher;

        [RemoteClass(alias="com.LineItemDTO")] ... bla...

Restart CF and start working. Now the client and server are using the same time zone.

Works fine in windows 7, but it doesn't work when I move my solution to windows 2003 server with CF9.

I run out of ideas, any ideas how to debug this issue?

Thanks !

No CF expert can help ??

I found something that it was misleading my laptop solution.

When I connected to my laptop remotely with different time zone (hawai) the solution doesn't work.

It should be an explanation, anyone?

Thanks,

I wish I could be of assistance, but I know enough of CFAdmin to be dangerous, and I've never used Flex, so..

As opposed as I am to cross-posting, hopefully the powers-that-be wouldn't mind if you also posted this to CF Administration and/or a Flex forum.  You might find experts in those forums.

HTH,

As you see in my first post I already have an open thread in Flex

Apache Flex Users - Time zone issue

They also asking to find someone in CF

I am out of ideas...

Try the CF Administration forum.  This appears to be a configuration issue, which only CF Administrators can change.

HTH,

JFB00, did you also implement another suggestion from the Faratasystems blog, namely, that you also need to set the JVM timezone to UTC? You had to do this in the Coldfusion Administrator.

[jfb00]

Yes, I did that BKBK. Also reboot the CF  server after. But the same issue.

Thanks for you reply !

What do you mean by "the solution doesn't work"? Please let us know:

What code you use;

What you expect it to do;

A description of the change or workaround you attempted;

What you expect the change or workaround to do;

What the result is;

Why this doesn't do what you expect it to.

When you pass the date object as a transient Java variable, then it should revert to its default value. Always. Even if the input date has Hawai timezone. So there is something going wrong in your procedure.
