Is there another way to get a user's time zone from a HttpServletRequest object in Spring MVC? [duplicate]

Answer 1

You can't get it from the HttpServletRequest. The information is not there.

In JavaScript, however, you can get the timezone offset as follows:

var offset = new Date().getTimezoneOffset();
// ...

You can use it to send back to server as (ajax) parameter or to apply changes on the rendered HTML. I would however not strictly rely on this. It should at least be configureable by the enduser itself.
