Maybe I can rephrase the question: does Cayenne do any kind of
transformation when storing Date objects in TIMESTAMP fields?
If so, how can I control this?
Thanks,

Hello,
Using Cayenne 3.0M3, MySQL 5.
I have a field which is a TIMESTAMP. It maps to a Java.util.Date
class in Java.
If I do a myObject.setMyTimestamp(new Date()) I will store the local
date.
I would like to store a GMT date.
I tried doing this:
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));
myObject.setMyTimestamp(cal.getTime());
but again, I am back to the local time. Indeed, a trace shows "cal"
is correctly set at the GMT value, but cal.getTime() is back to the
local time (or at least the printout is, but it is as if Cayenne
took the formated value and not the actual date value).
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks,
Alex
