Thanks so much for the info. Setting the TimeZone on the formatter did the trick!

I have a Date object being serialized from a server to a client (located in two different timezones) and I noticed that the date gets auto-adjusted to reflect the local timezone. There are places in the client app where this is desired; however, there are places where I need to keep the date based on the server's timezone. Basically, I don't want certain date objects to auto-adjust.

I noticed that you can set the client's timezone to the server's by calling this:
TimeZone.setDefault(serverTimeZone);

The problem with this approach is that it globally applies this for all Date objects and I only need it applied for a select few. Is there a easy way around this? Do I need to create a subclass of Date or is there something I'm overlooking?

Thanks...
