I'am trying to insert a timestamp value into the database thro' a entity bean.
My Code goes like this:

db.createdDate = new Timestamp(new System.currentTimeMillis());
It gets inserted with 5:30(+) difference.

when i try to print the timestamp it gives a value something like this:
'2001-04-17 16:33:11.639'

The bean is deployed in sun solaris m/c ,whose timezone has been set to:
TZ=GMT+5 & LC_TIME=en_US.

But when i print the same in a ordinary java prog in my local m/c, i get something like this:
'2001-04-17 11:03:11.639'

The difference is 5:30 Hrs.

The local m/c timezone has been set to (GMT+5:30)Chennai,Mumbai,Calcutta,delhi

Similarly when i try to retrieve the date value from the database thro' the same bean and display it in my client application, the same 5:30(+) hrs difference is there.

how to solve this problem?

Thanks,
