["Henri Yandell (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Henri Yandell resolved LANG-165:
--------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

I'm resolving this as a WONTFIX because I can't see a non-hacky way to implement it and I believe it's best for hacky solutions to remain in the apps, not the libs.

> [lang] parseDate with TimeZone

>          Key: LANG-165
>          URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-165
>      Project: Commons Lang
>         Type: Improvement

>     Versions: 2.1
>  Environment: Operating System: All
> Platform: All
>     Reporter: Bill Boland
>     Priority: Minor
>      Fix For: 2.2

>
> I needed the ability to user a function like the 
> org.apache.commons.lang.time.DateUtils.parseDate function but I needed to 
> consider a different time zone when parsing the dates (assuming the format did 
> not have the time zone as part of the input). This is needed for different 
> clients to enter local date/time values on their browser and consider their 
> defined time zone to convert this to the server/system time zone. I just 
> thought an additional parameter to this function would make it more generic 
> for this purpose while still keeping the current method signate which would 
> use the tiem zone sensitive one with a null or default timezone value.
> Anyway, just thought I'd suggest it.
