JSF DateTimeConverter Bug

A bug in the IBM WebSphere JSF implementation can cause the incorrect date to be displayed. The following serves as a workaround:

public class DateTimeConverter extends javax.faces.convert.DateTimeConverter {

    /**
     * Override the IBM DateTimeConverter getAsString implementation.
     * Default the TimeZone.
     * @param context - the FacesContext.
     * @param component - the UIComponent to convert the value for.
     * @param value - the value to be converted.
     * @return String.
     */
    public String getAsString(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value) {
        super.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getDefault());
        return super.getAsString(context, component, value);
    }
    
}
