Message:

Time methods, same method different result?

Posted by Gerwin Brink on 07 Oct 1998, 2:58 AM

I�m having some problems with an Applet which should show the current hour.
I get 3 different results depending on how and where I run the Applet.

When I use the (deprecated) method:

dat=new Date();
hour=dat.getHour();

The results are:
Appletviewer = current time
Netscape, class on local HD = current time +1
Netscape, class on server = current time +2

when I use the 1.1 method:

GregorianCalendar cal = new GregorianCalendar();
dat = new Date();
((Calendar) cal).setTime( dat );
hour = ((Calendar) cal).get(HOUR);

The results are:
Appletviewer = current time -1
Netscape, class on local HD = current time
Netscape, class on server = current time +1

Can anybody please explain, or look on my page http://home.wxs.nl/~gwbrink/
what results you got?
