java new date (0),新的java.sql.Date（0）不对应于1970年1月1日00:00:00

The code below:

import java.sql.Date;

import java.text.DateFormat;

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;

public class FooMain {

private static final DateFormat DF = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm'Z'");

public static void main(String args[]) {

System.out.println(DF.format(new Date(0)));

}

}

prints out:

1970-01-01T01:00Z

Should'nt it have been 1970-01-01T00:00Z instead? I understand that Unix Epoch time is always unambiguous and we don't have to worry about timezones, but here's my timezone in case it matters:

$ cat /etc/timezone

Europe/Madrid

解决方案

new Date(0) does correspond to January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT. The issue is that, by default, DateFormat will print the date in your system timezone. Set the timezone on your formatter to GMT:

DF.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));

System.out.println(DF.format(new Date(0))); // outputs: 1970-01-01T00:00Z
