    <p>I'm experiencing the following very annoying behaviour when using JPA entitys in conjunction with Oracle 10g. </p> <p>Suppose you have the following entity.</p> <pre><code>@Entity @Table(name = "T_Order") public class TOrder implements Serializable { private static final long serialVersionUID = 2235742302377173533L; @Id @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO) private Integer id; @Column(name = "activationDate") private Calendar activationDate; public Integer getId() { return id; } public void setId(Integer id) { this.id = id; } public Calendar getActivationDate() { return activationDate; } public void setActivationDate(Calendar activationDate) { this.activationDate = activationDate; } } </code></pre> <p>This entity is mapped to Oracle 10g, so in the DB there will be a table T_ORDER with a primary key NUMBER column "ID" and a TIMESTAMP column "activationDate".</p> <p>Lets suppose I create an instance of this class with the activation date "15. Sep 2008 00:00AM". My local timezone is CEST which is GMT+02:00. When I persist this object and select the data from the table T_ORDER using sqlplus, I find out that in the table actually "14. Sep 2008 22:00" is stored, which is ok so far, because the oracle db timezone is GMT.</p> <p>But now the annoying part. When I read this entity back into my JAVA program, I find out that the oracle time zone is ignored and I get "14. Sep 2008 22:00 CEST", which is definitly wrong. </p> <p>So basically, when writing to the DB the timezone information will be used, when reading it will be ignored.</p> <p>Is there any solution for this out there? The most simple solution I guess would be to set the oracle dbs timezone to GMT+02, but unfortunatly I can't do this because there are other applications using the same server.</p> <p>We use the following technology</p> <p>MyEclipse 6.5 JPA with Hibernate 3.2 Oracle 10g thin JDBC Driver</p>
