JPA TemporalType.Date giving wrong date

Question

I have a class that has a date field representing a \"valid from\" date for a piece of data. It is defined like this:

@Temporal( TemporalType.DATE )
private          


        

Answer 1

But using DATETIME instead of date will lead to a one hour (ore more depending the time zone) difference, which you may ignore if you handle a date, but not a time value. For me the data coming from the mysql database was the correct value, but the difference came in when using the f:convertDateTime without a timeZone paramater, which leads to a default of using GMT!

works fine, but I think this will work no more when we switch to CEST ....
