Hey all, We're using castor in an environment where there is likely to be more than "user time zone" and we'd like to convert our java dates into the user's timezone when we marshal. I found the thread that discusses setting the default TimeZone on DateFieldHandler. This looks right on point, but it seems like it may not be safe in our case, since different users might have different timezones. With a bunch of different threads going in the appserver machine (most of which will result in a marshal call) would it work to set the static default timzone immediately before marshalling? Or would we run the risk of crossing wires when things got busy?

DateFieldHandler.setDefaultTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC")); .. Just do that before you call the Marshaller and it should work for you. --Keith ********************************************************************* The information contained in this e-mail message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the recipient(s) named above.
