Hi,
\nIn my recent grails project, i came across the situation where i needed to convert the date in given timezone to the date in another timezone. I searched a lot about it and got many solutions for this problem and then i came out with a simple way to do so.<\/p>\n

Lets i have a date in TimeZone say oldTimeZone and i want to convert it to another timeZone say newTimeZone, so to convert it to another timezone, i wrote the method given below.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

[java]
\npublic Date convertToNewTimeZone(Date date, TimeZone oldTimeZone, TimeZone newTimeZone){<\/p>\n

long oldDateinMilliSeconds=date.time – oldtimeZone.rawOffset
\n \/\/ oldtimeZone.rawOffset returns the difference(in milliSeconds) of time in that timezone with the time in GMT
\n \/\/ date.time returns the milliseconds of the date<\/p>\n

Date dateInGMT=new Date(oldDateinMilliSeconds)<\/p>\n

long convertedDateInMilliSeconds = dateInGMT.time + newTimeZone.rawOffset
\n Date convertedDate = new Date(convertedDateInMilliSeconds)<\/p>\n

return convertedDate
\n}
\n[\/java]<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This Works for me.
\nHope it helps.<\/p>\n

Cheers..!!!
