Java日期DST调整我的日期/时间

Question

I have a function that accepts 2 set of dates ( start date , and end date ) that will be used for my match engine

I have to know if the start_date1 & end_date1 is inside start_date2 & end_date2

Fast forward : I already have the right computation and implementation when I run it in local.. But when I run it in cloud.. This is the result

Result:

(DATETIME IN SQL)

input > **start_date1** : Apr 1, 2016  6:00am

input > **end_date1** : Apr 1, 2016 7:00pm

--

(TIMESTAMP IN SQL)

input > **start_date2** : Apr 1, 2016 6:00am

input > **end_date2** : Apr 1, 2016 6:00pm


output : true
--------------

As you can see the output must be false.. I think it is being adjusted by the DST.. Please tell me if there is a way to disregard DST or turn it off or the easiest way to disregard it..

BTW, I'm using Java 7.. Thanks!

Answer 1

It can happen if your local and cloud time zone are different. Make sure that the two time zone are the same.

You can change your time zone with this command :

TimeZone.setDefault(TimeZone.getTimeZone("yourTimeZone"));

You can also choose time zone whithout DST, like "UTC" :

TimeZone.setDefault(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
