Hi Tijs,

Have created fresh task this morning & due date details are as below.

due date captured in database for the task: 09-SEP-14 10.20.42.990000000 AM
due date the following rest returning for the same task: 2014-09-09T04:50:42.990+0000

GET http://localhost:8080/activiti-rest/service/runtime/tasks/61905

Again reiterating that I am working in GMT+5:30 timezone & the timezone was set properly in my system.

The returned date from the REST API is correct because it has a timezone of GMT.
So the date in your database is changed to DATE - 5.30.
If you want to display the date in your timezone you can transform the date to use GMT+5:30 again.

Best regards,

Hi Tijs

I did't understand what do you mean y "So the date in your database is changed to DATE - 5.3". As I posted above, database is persisting the date correctly. How to change the REST api so that it can consider GMT+5:30. What do you mean by transforming the date to use GMT+5:30.

Many thanks for your help here.

I do not want to programatically transform the date returned by REST to GMT+5:30. Is there a way to make REST to consider GMT+5:30

Here is the solution to this problem.

Extend the ActivitiRestServicesApplication & override the method createInboundRoot.

Add the following lines at the end of his method.

DateFormat format=new SimpleDateFormat("your date format");
jacksonConverter.getObjectMapper().setDateFormat(format);
