             Summary: GeneralizedTime issue with timezone when DST is applied
                 Key: DIRAPI-336
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRAPI-336
             Project: Directory Client API
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0.AM2
         Environment: Windows 10 pro
JDK 1.8.0_144
api-util 2.0.0.AM2
            Reporter: Vitali Sidaruk


I have been facing some issues with timezone when I use GeneralizedTime. Looks like GeneralizedTime is not taking into account DST (daylight saving time) have taken place in Europe.

After the last Sunday in March DST is applied in most European countries. I expect to see +0200 timezone offset when the date in April is converted to the string, but there is a +0100 (line 4 in output section).

I have pasted a following code snippet, where I write date with time and timezone offset to the output from ZonedDateTime and GeneralizedTime.

 
{code:java}
import org.apache.directory.api.util.GeneralizedTime;

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.time.LocalDateTime;
import java.time.ZoneId;
import java.time.ZonedDateTime;
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;


ZoneId swissZone = ZoneId.of("Europe/Zurich");
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMddHHmmssZ");

ZonedDateTime winterZonedDateTime = LocalDateTime.parse("2019-01-23T01:23:45").atZone(swissZone);
GregorianCalendar winterCalendar = GregorianCalendar.from(winterZonedDateTime);
System.out.println(dateFormat.format(winterCalendar.getTime()));    // 20190123012345+0100

GeneralizedTime winterGeneralizedTime = new GeneralizedTime(winterCalendar);
String winterGeneralizedTimeString = winterGeneralizedTime.toGeneralizedTime(
        GeneralizedTime.Format.YEAR_MONTH_DAY_HOUR_MIN_SEC,
        GeneralizedTime.FractionDelimiter.DOT, 1,
        GeneralizedTime.TimeZoneFormat.DIFF_HOUR_MINUTE);
System.out.println(winterGeneralizedTimeString);    // 20190123012345+0100

ZonedDateTime summerZonedDateTime = LocalDateTime.parse("2019-04-03T01:23:45").atZone(swissZone);
GregorianCalendar summerCalendar = GregorianCalendar.from(summerZonedDateTime);
System.out.println(dateFormat.format(summerCalendar.getTime()));    // 20190403012345+0200

GeneralizedTime summerGeneralizedTime = new GeneralizedTime(summerCalendar);
String summerGeneralizedTimeString = summerGeneralizedTime.toGeneralizedTime(
        GeneralizedTime.Format.YEAR_MONTH_DAY_HOUR_MIN_SEC,
        GeneralizedTime.FractionDelimiter.DOT, 1,
        GeneralizedTime.TimeZoneFormat.DIFF_HOUR_MINUTE);
System.out.println(summerGeneralizedTimeString);    // 20190403012345+0100

{code}
 The output is
{code:java}
20190123012345+0100 // winter time from ZonedDateTime 
20190123012345+0100 // winter time from GeneralizedTime 
20190403012345+0200 // summer time from ZonedDateTime 
20190403012345+0100 // summer time from GeneralizedTime, expected timezone offset +0200
{code}
