Problem:

datetime conversion to/from WDDX doesn't honor DST.


Method:

Krishna 5/20/09:Repro steps
1.Change the system Time zone to GMT -8:00(US,Canada) and check the checkbox 'Automatically adjust the clock for daylight saving changes'
2.Restart the server.
3.Run the cfm under \\blrfs04.macromedia.com\coldfusion\Bugs\76746
4.You can see different results returned which are differing by one hour.
5.If the check box 'Automatically adjust the clock for daylight saving changes' is not selected, then both results are same.

Customer's:

with the server in PST tz: 

<cfwddx action = "wddx2cfml"
input  = "<wddxPacket 
version='1.0'><header/><data><dateTime>2006-08-20T00:00:00-07:00</dateTime></data></wddxPacket>"
output = "s__WddxDate" />
<cfoutput>WDDX: #s__WddxDate#</cfoutput><br/>

this returns time off by one hour (ie not in DST): 
{ts '2006-08-19 23:00:00'}
WDDX: {ts '2006-08-20 12:30:00'}
Result:

+1 vote. I don't use PST at all so this personally doesn't affect me; but if that's wrong, there could be other glitches too. It needs a bit of a going over, I think. -- Adam

Note: This ticket only fixed action="wddx2cfml" but not action="cfml2wddx". Looks like CF-4198336 is possibly what fixed action="cfml2wddx". I've confirmed cfml2wddx & wddx2cfml both work correctly in CF2018 Update 4 (build 2018.0.04.314546), as a coldfusion.runtime.OleDateTime value serialized to WDDX and then deserialized back again is the same regardless of OS/JVM tz/DST. Thanks!, -Aaron
