How to set time zone for java.util.Date

Approach 1: Using setTimeZone method of SimpleDateFormat

SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss");

simpleDateFormat.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));

Date date = simpleDateFormat.parse("2020-04-07T09:45:02");

Approach 2: Using ZonedDateTime

ZonedDateTime zonedDateTime = LocalDateTime.parse("2020-04-07T09:45:02").atZone(ZoneId.of("UTC"));

date = Date.from(zonedDateTime.toInstant());

Approach 3: Using 'TimeZone.setDefault'

TimeZone.setDefault(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));

date = new Date();

App.java

package com.sample.app;

import java.text.ParseException;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.time.LocalDateTime;
import java.time.ZoneId;
import java.time.ZonedDateTime;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.TimeZone;

public class App {

 public static void main(String args[]) throws ParseException {
  // Approach 1
  SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss");
  simpleDateFormat.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
  Date date = simpleDateFormat.parse("2020-04-07T09:45:02");

  System.out.println("date : " + date);

  //Approach 2
  ZonedDateTime zonedDateTime = LocalDateTime.parse("2020-04-07T09:45:02").atZone(ZoneId.of("UTC"));
  date = Date.from(zonedDateTime.toInstant());
  System.out.println("date : " + date);

  date = new Date();
  System.out.println("Date before setting timezone : " + date);

  //Approach3
  TimeZone.setDefault(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));

  date = new Date();
  System.out.println("Date before setting timezone : " + date);
 }
}

Sample Output

date : Tue Apr 07 15:15:02 IST 2020
date : Tue Apr 07 15:15:02 IST 2020
Date before setting timezone : Tue Apr 07 10:10:16 IST 2020
Date before setting timezone : Tue Apr 07 04:40:16 UTC 2020

Quartz: CronTrigger: Get the time zone

'com.quartz.CronTrigger' interface provides 'getTimeZone' method, it returns the time zone for which the cronExpression of

this CronTrigger will be resolved.

Example

TimeZone timeZone = cronTrigger.getTimeZone();

Find the below working example.

PrintJob.java

package com.sample.jobs;

import java.util.Map.Entry;
import java.util.TimeZone;

import org.quartz.Job;
import org.quartz.JobDataMap;
import org.quartz.JobExecutionContext;
import org.quartz.JobExecutionException;
import org.quartz.impl.triggers.CronTriggerImpl;

public class PrintJob implements Job {
 public void execute(JobExecutionContext jec) throws JobExecutionException {

  System.out.println("********************************************");
  System.out.println("Printing Job data map information");
  JobDataMap jobDataMap = jec.getJobDetail().getJobDataMap();
  for (Entry<String, Object> entry : jobDataMap.entrySet()) {
   System.out.println(entry.getKey() + " : " + entry.getValue());
  }

  CronTriggerImpl cronTrigger = (CronTriggerImpl) jec.getTrigger();
  System.out.println("\nPrinting Trigger Job data map information");
  JobDataMap triggerJobDataMap = cronTrigger.getJobDataMap();
  for (Entry<String, Object> entry : triggerJobDataMap.entrySet()) {
   System.out.println(entry.getKey() + " : " + entry.getValue());
  }

  String jobName = cronTrigger.getJobName();
  String jobGroup = cronTrigger.getJobGroup();
  String triggerName = cronTrigger.getName();
  String triggerGroup = cronTrigger.getGroup();

  String cronExpresion = cronTrigger.getCronExpression();
  TimeZone timeZone = cronTrigger.getTimeZone();
  String expressionSummary = cronTrigger.getExpressionSummary();

  String jobInfo = String.format("Trigger '%s' from group '%s' executing the job '%s' of group '%s'", triggerName,
    triggerGroup, jobName, jobGroup);

  System.out.println(jobInfo);
  System.out.println("Time Zone : " + timeZone);
  System.out.println("expressionSummary : " + expressionSummary);
  System.out.println("Cron Expression : " + cronExpresion);
  System.out.println("********************************************");

 }
}

QuartzSchedulerEx.java

package com.sample.app;

import static org.quartz.DateBuilder.futureDate;
import static org.quartz.JobBuilder.newJob;
import static org.quartz.TriggerBuilder.newTrigger;
import static org.quartz.TriggerKey.triggerKey;

import org.quartz.CronScheduleBuilder;
import org.quartz.CronTrigger;
import org.quartz.DateBuilder.IntervalUnit;
import org.quartz.JobDataMap;
import org.quartz.JobDetail;
import org.quartz.Scheduler;
import org.quartz.SchedulerException;
import org.quartz.SchedulerFactory;
import org.quartz.impl.StdSchedulerFactory;

import com.sample.jobs.PrintJob;

public class QuartzSchedulerEx {
 public static void main(String args[]) throws SchedulerException, InterruptedException {

  // Initiate a Schedule Factory
  SchedulerFactory schedulerFactory = new StdSchedulerFactory();

  // Retrieve a scheduler from schedule factory
  Scheduler scheduler = schedulerFactory.getScheduler();

  JobDataMap jobDataMap = new JobDataMap();
  jobDataMap.put("Description", "This job prints some message to console");

  JobDataMap triggerJobDataMap = new JobDataMap();
  triggerJobDataMap.put("userName", "krishna123");
  triggerJobDataMap.put("token", "myToken4321");

  // Creating JobDetailImpl and link to our Job class
  JobDetail printJobDetails = newJob(PrintJob.class).withIdentity("PrintJob", "PrintJobMessagesGroup")
    .usingJobData(jobDataMap).build();

  // Creating schedule time with trigger
  CronTrigger trigger = (CronTrigger) (newTrigger().withIdentity(triggerKey("myTrigger", "myTriggerGroup"))
    .withSchedule(CronScheduleBuilder.cronSchedule("0/3 * * * * ?"))
    .startAt(futureDate(500, IntervalUnit.MILLISECOND)).withDescription("Job executes every 3 seconds")
    .usingJobData(triggerJobDataMap).build());
  

  scheduler.start();

  // Schedule the jobs using triggers
  scheduler.scheduleJob(printJobDetails, trigger);

 }
}
