Java TimeZone

TimeZone represents a time zone offset, and also figures out daylight savings. Typically, you get a TimeZone using getDefault which creates a TimeZone based on the time zone where the program is running. For example, for a program running in Japan, getDefault creates a TimeZone object based on Japanese Standard Time.

You can also get a TimeZone using getTimeZone along with a time zone ID. For instance, the time zone ID for the U.S. Pacific Time zone is “America/Los_Angeles”. So, you can get a U.S. Pacific Time TimeZone object with

TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone("America/Los_Angeles");

You can force the #Java Virtual Machine to use a specific TimeZone by adding a –D to its start parameter

-Duser.timezone="America/Los_Angeles"

In this example any server located outside the U.S. Pacific Time zone can still create timestamp like it would be in the U.S. Pacific Time zone.
