Description

1. Create a jsp that uses tr:convertDateTime to display timezone, e.g.
<af:outputText value="#

{demoInput.date}

">
<af:convertDateTime type="both" timeStyle="full" timeZone="America/New_York"/>
</af:outputText>

where demoInput.date returns the current date, e.g. June 17 09, 1:00 PM

2. Run the jsp. For June 17 09 the timezone is actually EDT (GMT - 4). Instead it displays as EST
6/17/2009 1:00:00 PM GMT-05:00

If using the JSF standard DateTimeConverter, the output is:
Jun 17, 2009 1:00:00 PM EDT
