Client Timezone in ClientProperties

[Gumnaam <gu...@cox.net>]

I see that there is a method called getTimezone() on the 
ClientProperties object.

The javadoc for it says
"Get the client's time zone if that could be detected."

I tried to get this property, by submitting request from various 
browsers on various platforms,
but it always returns null.

Can some one elaborate on how is the client timezone detected ? and why 
is it not working for
any browser/os combo ?


thanks

You can turn on advanced browser detection for properties such as
these by putting:

getRequestCycleSettings().setGatherExtendedBrowserInfo(true);

in your Application's init method. Like the HelloBrowser example does.

Note that this is merely a convenience implementation. You might want
to look at how it works, and e.g. put the logic in a login page so
that you don't have to deal with the flicker from the redirecting.
