[jira] [Commented] (FREEMARKER-36) Datetime is not accepting timezone

["Daniel Dekany (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FREEMARKER-36?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15549489#comment-15549489 ] 

Daniel Dekany commented on FREEMARKER-36:
-----------------------------------------

The time zone used for displaying dates depends on FreeMarker's `time_zone` (or `timeZone`) setting (unless it's overridden by the date/time format, but that's only possible with the ISO formats). You are saying that you have set the time zone, but how exactly?

> In template we have set time-zone as a java TimeZone object. On the input we have timestamp ${timestamp?number_to_datetime}. In the result we see datetime in UTC instead of our timezone.
> On freemarker pages I found that it should depend on timezone:
> These are used to convert a number (usually a Java long) to a date, time or date-time, respectively. This does them same as new java.util.Date(long) in Java, that is, the number is interpreted as the milliseconds passed since the epoch. The number can be anything and of any type as far as its value fits into a long. If the number isn't a whole number, it will be rounded to whole with half-up rule.
> Example:
> ${1305575275540?number_to_datetime}
> ${1305575275540?number_to_date}
> ${1305575275540?number_to_time}
> The output will be something like this (depending on the current locale and time zone):
> May 16, 2011 3:47:55 PM
> May 16, 2011
> 3:47:55 PM
