Java Date / Time zone issue / UTC to BST conversion problem

807603Feb 14 2008 — edited Feb 15 2008

Hello,
I have few dates stored in UTC and i have to retrieve those dates based on my client time zone.

I have tried

Calendar gmtDate = GregorianCalendar.getInstance();
gmtDate.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Europe\London"));
gmtDate.set(retrievedDates); //  01-07-2008 11:00 hrs 01-02-2008 11:00 hrs UTC (March and Aug)

 
Sat Mar 01 02:10:24 GMT 2008
Fri Aug 01 02:10:24 BST 2008

The result of both dates are showing in BST and GMT , but there is no offset time chage .i.e, British Sumer Time force to start on March (GMT +1 ) and finishing on October.

The above results are wrong eventhough they have displayed correct TZ format.

Please let me know how to resolve this issue ?

Thanks and Regards
