icalendar and timezone

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Hi,

I've successfully managed to show up the Share's calendar in my pim software (korganizer) using the "ical feed" link. But the start and end date are shifted by one hour. I think this is a time zone issue, since I'm located in Germany (aka GMT+1).
The icalendar feed produced by Share looks like this:

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
PRODID:-//Alfresco Software//Calendar 1.0//EN
VERSION:2.0
BEGIN:VEVENT
UID:c33df3a6-471e-48e7-bbef-5078578b946d
DTSTART:20090225T170000Z
DTEND:20090225T190000Z
SUMMARY:Testevent
DTSTAMP:20090129T183139Z
DESCRIPTION:
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

According to the ical spec http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2445, the tailing "Z" in DTSTART and DTEND indicates UTC. So Alfresco Share obviously operates in UTC.
The system's timezone is set to "Europe/Berlin". Inside the JVM java.util.TimeZone.getDefault() also returns "Europe/Berlin". Seems like Share does not work with timezones.
How can this be changed? Any hints?

Regards,
Stefan

Similar issue but our times are offset by 2 hours, even though we are in the same time zone as you, in principle. Our time zone iS Europe/Zurich.

I've subscribed from iCal, Zimbra, Thunderbird and all are displaying the event as 11:00 to 19:00 instead of 09:00 to 17:00

Any help with finding the fix would be most welcome as it prevents us from rolling out Share with calendar for now.

Thanks

Ray
