Time/Date to GMT keeping in mind DST
[222 byte] By [lars68] at [2007-9-26 13:42:07] 
I have a servlet that gets the system Time/Date and needs to convert it to GMT(Greenwich Mean Time), it also needs to convert for DST(Daylight Savings Time) in the code. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Use java.util.SimpleDateFormat and create TimeZone as needed.

I am not sure what you mean. Could you elaborate? I am not trying to create a new TimeZone, I just want to adjust the current time so that it is displayed as coming from GMT and also takes into accound DST.Thanx

Presumably the current time zone of the client is not GMT/UMT.So you need to create a TimeZone for GMT/UMT.Then you use that when creating SimpleDateFormat. Then the format method of that instance will produce a string with the correct (relative) time value.
