Hello.
Perhaps not that related, but you might want to take a look at JSR-310
that tries to solve problems with the current java.util.Date & co. You
should be able to create cayenne extended type(s) for JSR-310 until it
is supported by jdbc.
This video is a nice intro to JSR-310

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
