: But when I use SolrJ and get it as object, I am seeing that the UTC date is : of type Date and I am not able to retrieve back the UTC date from it and I : get only long timestamp from that object. : : I also see a private variable in that Date class called as cDate which has : what I want (Date in UTC format). But I am not able to get the UTC value out : of that variable. Is there any better ways to get UTC timestamp out of that : field?
Date objects in Java do not have any intrinsic TimeZone -- they represent absolute fixed moments in time. to "see" a Date in UTC (or any other time zone) you must convert it to a String -- either by using hte detault "toString()" representation, or by using a DateFormat. -Hoss http://www.lucidworks.com/
