Hi guys, First of all, thanks for the answer and the effort you put into writing them.
I checked few things and read couple of articles about similar problems and here is my little summary: - my PostgreSQL birthDate column's type is 'birthDate TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIME ZONE' - the values contained by the column do not have the time part, the year-month-day is used, eg. 1982-03-28 - then the user Entity has the birth date field with annotations @Column(name = "birthDate ") @Temporal(TemporalType.DATE) private java.util.Date birthDate; - the call calendar.getTimeZone().getDisplayName() returns The Calendar instance is created in this way: Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(); calendar.setTime(user.getBirthDate()); So the TIMESTAMP value from the database is interpreted as the java.util.Date, what is achieved by putting the Temporal annotation. Then, when I call the getter (getBirthDate method) the "truncated" TIMESTAMP is returned. But still, after fetching the birthDate for 4 times, the fifth one becomes corrupted: 30-03-16 00:25:36:746 - {INFO} profil.ProfilEdition Thread [qtp1357767732-54]; birth date equals (setupRender - getting from raw query): 1982-03-28 00:00:00.0, 1982-03-28 00:00:00.0 30-03-16 00:25:44:497 - {INFO} profil.ProfilEdition Thread [qtp1357767732-65]; birth date equals (setupRender - getting from raw query): 1982-03-28 00:00:00.0, 1982-03-28 00:00:00.0 30-03-16 00:25:46:037 - {INFO} profil.ProfilEdition Thread [qtp1357767732-60]; birth date equals (setupRender - getting from raw query): 1982-03-28 00:00:00.0, 1982-03-28 00:00:00.0 30-03-16 00:25:46:884 - {INFO} profil.ProfilEdition Thread [qtp1357767732-62]; birth date equals (setupRender - getting from raw query): 1982-03-28 00:00:00.0, 1982-03-28 00:00:00.0 30-03-16 00:25:48:843 - {INFO} profil.ProfilEdition Thread [qtp1357767732-63]; birth date equals (setupRender - getting from raw query): 1982-03-27 23:00:00.0, 1982-03-27 23:00:00.0 The log comes from casting the raw query result to java.sql.Timestamp. The value after comma is the same one, but casted to java.util.Date (these are results of toString method).. I will continue to investigate the thing tomorrow. 2016-03-24 15:47 GMT+01:00 Cezary Biernacki <cezary...@gmail.com>: > Hi, > I doubt it is a Tapestry related problem.
