convert

public Timestamp convert(String obj,
                         Locale locale,
                         TimeZone timeZone,
                         String formatString)
                  throws ConversionException

Converts obj to a java.sql.Timestamp.

Note that the string representation is referenced to the timeZone argument, not UTC. The Timestamp that is returned is adjusted to UTC. This behavior is intended to accommodate user-entered timestamps, where users are accustomed to using their own time zone.

Parameters:

obj - The source Object to convert

locale - The locale used for conversion - must not be null

timeZone - The time zone used for conversion - must not be null

formatString - Optional formatting string

Returns:

The converted Object

Throws:

ConversionException
