--------------------------------------

See here: http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces/FAQ#Date
I used <s:convertDateTime/> instead and it works properly using the server's local timezone.

> There is a problem with default time zone in DateTimeConverter.
> I want to display date (loaded from db through hibernate), for example: 1970-09-02/00:00:00  (java.util.Date). So dateTimeConverter decrease date by 1 hour and then display 1970-09-01/23:00:00. This is because after init the DateFormat contains time zone default for my host. The only workaround is manualy set local timezone in <f:convertDateTime timeZone="..." />. I thing, that the best solution is not set format.setTimeZone(tz) when user doesn't specify other timezone, or set localtimezone ( TimeZone.getDefault() ).
