EWS returned datetime value is actaully always UTC timezone. however, then append with server time zone. So let’s say if the email created at 15:00 SGT (+18:00); EWS would return date time as 7:00 EST; since the application server (the EWS client) resides in Australia.
To correctly parse the returned date time value, SimpleDateTimeFormat shoule be used twice.
static ThreadLocal<SimpleDateFormat> sdT1;
static ThreadLocal<SimpleDateFormat> sdT2;
static {
sdT1 = new ThreadLocal<SimpleDateFormat>(){
@Override
protected SimpleDateFormat initialValue() {
return new SimpleDateFormat("dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss");
}
};
sdT2 = new ThreadLocal<SimpleDateFormat>(){
@Override
protected SimpleDateFormat initialValue() {
return new SimpleDateFormat("dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss z");
}
};
//sd = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss");
//sd2 = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss z");
}
//synchronized (sdT1.get())
//{
String datetime = sdT1.get().format(receipt.getDateTimeReceived());
try {
exchangeCreatedTime = new BFMDateTime(sdT2.get().parse(datetime+" UTC"));
} catch (ParseException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}finally{
}
//}
