New to Java

OK ... I know there are several posts on this, I have read them all and tried a lot of the JVM's (1.4.2_11, 1.5_09, 1.6.0) and get the same results. We store dates in an Oracle database(9i). These dates represent dates in GMT/Zulu.

So...here is the issue/question. We have a date/time stored in the database of 2007-03-11 0230. This really isn't a valid date for local (Eastern), but it is for GMT. It isn't a valid date for local, because at 0200 (really one second past), we jump forward to 0300.

When we pull this date out of the database, using resultSet.getString() or resultSet.getTimeStamp()....or anything else, it converts the date from: 2007-03-11 0230 to 2007-03-11 0330.

This should not be converted, this specific field in the database represents a Z/GMT time, so we don't want any conversions done on this date, when pulling it from the database.

Any ideas where I'm going wrong???

Thanks!!!!
