You'll need to modify it to use a different timezone. import java.text.SimpleDateFormat; import java.util.TimeZone; import java.util.Date; SimpleDateFormat ISO8601UTC = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss,SSS'Z'"); ISO8601UTC.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC")); String now = ISO8601UTC.format(new Date()); -- Pete Forman -./\.- Disclaimer: This post is originated WesternGeco -./\.- by myself and does not represent pete.forman@w... -./\.- opinion of Schlumberger, Baker http://petef.port5.com -./\.- Hughes or their divisions.
