copied!<p>This comment may be part of the problem:</p> <pre><code>//time in UTC standard DateTime processingDate = DateTime.now(); </code></pre> <p>No, <code>DateTime.now()</code> returns the current time in the default time zone. So when you later use <code>withZone(DateTimeZone.getDefault())</code> that's a no-op.</p> <p>However, I'd still have expected <code>fmtHour.withZone(DateTimeZone.UTC).print(processingDate)</code> to convert to UTC.</p> <p>Indeed, that's what I get when I manually set the default time zone to something other than UTC:</p> <pre><code>import org.joda.time.*; import org.joda.time.format.*; public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { DateTimeZone pacific = DateTimeZone.forID("America/Los_Angeles"); DateTimeZone.setDefault(pacific); DateTime processingDate = DateTime.now(); //local time LocalDateTime localDateTime = processingDate. withZone(DateTimeZone.getDefault()).toLocalDateTime(); DateTimeFormatter fmtDate = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("dd/MM/yyyy"); DateTimeFormatter fmtHour = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("HH:mm:ss"); System.out.println("Date: " + fmtDate.print(processingDate)); System.out.println("Time: " + fmtHour.withZone(DateTimeZone.UTC). print(processingDate)); System.out.println("Local date: " + fmtDate.print(localDateTime)); System.out.println("Local time: " + fmtHour.print(localDateTime)); } } </code></pre> <p>Output:</p> <pre><code>Date: 06/12/2012 Time: 13:19:35 Local date: 06/12/2012 Local time: 05:19:35 </code></pre> <p>Are you sure the problem isn't just that your default time zone <em>is</em> UTC?</p>
