Hi,

I have my Author and Publish app servers in different locations and due to this i am having issues when i try fetching time from a date property.

node = hit.getNode(); String dateField = node.getProperty("start").getValue().getString(); out.println(dateField); //2015-04-20T07:15:00.000-05:00 Property startProp = node.getProperty("start"); Calendar startCal = startProp.getDate(); String formattedDate = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm aa").format(startCal.getTime()); out.println("Output= " + formattedDate); Publish: Output= 2015-04-20 12:15 PM Author:  Output= 2015-04-20 07:15 AM

Hi,

Store these dates in GMT and convert back to respective locale datetime from GMT

Hi,

what do you expect? SimpleDateFormat always uses the timezone inherited from the system, unless specified otherwise. You can set set the timezone explicitly by calling the setTimezone() method on a SimpleDateFormat object. As far as I can see, this is not an AEM specific problem.

kind regards,
Jörg
