How to get at the timezone-information in the publication datetime

[lars-5]

Hi all!

We have a need to get at the time zone of the publication datetime in  
the rss item / atom entry if present.

I found the following entry from 2005 that seems related:

   https://rome.dev.java.net/servlets/ReadMsg?listName=users&msgNo=664

Has Rome changed since that time? Are we still out of luck unless we  
follow the advice in the posting:

   Write your own parsers that inherits from the ROME parsers.  
Subclass the
   beans and add a DateText field where you store the actual text for  
the Date.
   Subclass the generators to use the text instead of the Date to  
generate.

Are there any good architectural overviews of Rome that would be  
useful to read
before trying to write something like the above on top of Rome?

Thanks,

Lars

Hi Lars,

Yes, I think that the advice in the posting you referenced is still relevant. Can I ask why you need the timezone information?

This is probably the most useful piece of documentation if you'd like to try this: http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/Javawsxml/Rome05Plugins

The explanation on http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/Javawsxml/Rome04HowRomeWorks is also useful
