Re: Java's set of timezone names

Vadim,

Actually you are correct, it is America/Montreal and now that I
switched it back it actually has useDaylight=true... very strange.

I think as John pointed out though there are some issues with using
named TimeZones.

Is there a way to get the servers timezone info from the server ?
