Re: How do I set a TimeZone for VelocityTools DateTool?

My answer on StackOverflow:

To pass configuration values to standard tools, you have to explicitly
list them in your WEB-INF/tools.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<tools>
  <toolbox scope="application">
    <tool key="date"
          class="org.apache.velocity.tools.generic.DateTool"
          timezone="GMT+7"/>
    ...
  </toolbox>
  ...
</tools>
Please note that you can use the
org.apache.velocity.tools.generic.ComparisonDateTool for the same
purpose, which adds some nice date-time comparison features.
