Oracle timestamp with time zone

Hi All,

Is there a way to save and retrieve data to/from Oracle such that all of the
information in Oracle's "timestamp with time zone" data type is preserved?
(e.g. data like "October 29, 2006 1:30 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time").

So far, we've only been able to get date/time/time zone information - we
can't find a way to also retrieve the daylight saving's information.

We're currently using Oracle 10 and the ojb 1.1.0 branch.

Thanks for any input you can provide,
Jim
