How to get country name for a particluar TimeZone object??

Hi

I need to develope a website which shows the client time and the client timezone. I get the Locale of client and time zone offset from javascript but I am not able to obtain exact time zone of client as an offset has multiple time zones. Please help me on this.

What is your exact question? Your subject line is not related to your actual post.

The answer to the question in your subject line is simple: you can't. The reason is quite clear: a time zone does not have a specific country; many time zones are used in multiple countries. For instance, CET spans half of Europe.

About your second question: you say you have the offset, right? You can then create an instance of SimpleTimeZone using that offset.

That is the problem only, one Time zone offset spans over multiple timezone, hence i am not able to get exact timezone for my client side. If i get country for that timezone then i can figure it out.

No you can't. Two good examples: the United States and Russia both span multiple time zones. In the end, there is a many-to-many relation between countries and time zones: a time zone can span multiple countries, and a country can span multiple time zones. The only way to get the correct time zone is to know the exact location; that is, the longitude and latitude. Some time zones do not run in parallel with meridians, so only the longitude is not enough.

Thanks for your reply.
