Unable to obtain ZonedDateTime from TemporalAccessor using DateTimeFormatter and ZonedDateTime in Java 8

Question

I recently moved to Java 8 to, hopefully, deal with local and zoned times more easily.

However, I\'m facing an, in my opinion, simple problem when parsing a simple d

This does not work because your input (and your Formatter) do not have time zone information. A simple way is to parse your date as a LocalDate first (without time or time zone information) then create a ZonedDateTime:

public static ZonedDateTime convertirAFecha(String fecha) {
  DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd/MM/yyyy");
  LocalDate date = LocalDate.parse(fecha, formatter);

  ZonedDateTime resultado = date.atStartOfDay(ZoneId.systemDefault());
  return resultado;
}
