Description

Enhance the DateTool with:

/**

• The key used for specifying a default format via tool configuration.
  */
  public static final String TIMEZONE_KEY = "timezone";

private TimeZone timezone = TimeZone.getDefault();

/**

• Does the actual configuration. This is protected, so
• subclasses may share the same ValueParser and call configure
• at any time, while preventing templates from doing so when
• configure(Map) is locked.
  */
  protected void configure(ValueParser values) {
  super.configure(values);

String tzId = values.getString(TIMEZONE_KEY);
if (tzId != null)

{ setTimezone(TimeZone.getTimeZone(tzId)); }

}

// Replace current getTimezone() method with:
public TimeZone getTimezone()

{ return timezone; }

public void setTimezone(TimeZone timezone)

{ this.timezone = timezone; }
