Convert joda.time.DateTime to java.sql.Date and retain time zone

Question

I have the following scenario:

• Swing control that returns a Calendar object
• Intermediate DateTime object that I use to do heavy

Answer 1

The internal representation of a java.sql.Date is the number of milliseconds that have passed since January 1, 1970 00:00:00.000 GMT.

Are you sure that you're not looking at a toString problem? The method toGMTString(), although depreciated, still exists.
