Constructor Details

SqlTimestampConverter

public SqlTimestampConverter()

Constructs a SqlTimestampConverter using UTC format.

SqlTimestampConverter

public SqlTimestampConverter(TimeZone timeZone)

Constructs a SqlTimestampConverter.

XStream uses by default UTC as time zone. However, if the resulting XML is used as feed for a data base (like MS SQL) the server might expect the timestamp to be in local time and does the conversion to UTC on its own. In such a case you can register an own instance of the SqlTimestamp converter using e.g. TimeZone.getDefault().

Parameters:

timeZone - the time zone used for the format

Since:

1.4.10
