[Geoserver-devel] Timestamp in Shapefiles

Hi Everyone,

I have been working on GEOT-2903 [1], taking into account all the
feedback received so far.

The most important points are:
  a) the functionality is now enabled with a profile:
"org.geotools.shapefile.datetime", and
  b) compatibility (read/write) has been verified with a software
called DBF Viewer 2000.

More information, sample files, screenshots can be found attached to
the JIRA in [1].

Thanks in advance for any feedback you can provide.

Afternoon Ariel:

GeoTools is going through an IP review and we got a question about the reference to DBF Viewer 2000 you describe in GEOT-2903 (and in this email thread).

The code has a comment:

  • MILLIS_SINCE_4713 = refCal.getTimeInMillis() - 43200000L;
  • //(43200000L: 12 hour correction factor taken from DBFViewer2000)

Can I ask if you found that constant in the DBF Viewer 2000 source code, or were just using DBF Viewer 2000 for testing and determined the value from documentation or experimentally.
