Jsonformat changing date on a get request

Question

I have a java web service using Spring Boot, in a class I have a date attribute and I use Jsonformat to format the date and convert on the client side using Gson. However, even defining the locale for the zone of Brazil, which would be UTC-03, it converts to three hours more, making the date different. How to solve this problem?

@JsonFormat(shape = JsonFormat.Shape.STRING, pattern = "dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss", locale = "UTC-03")
private Date date;

Answer 1

However, even defining the locale for the Brazilian zone, which would be UTC-03

Actually, the locale has another meaning.

Try changing the annotation to define the Timezone:

@JsonFormat(shape = JsonFormat.Shape.STRING, pattern = "dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss", timezone="GMT-3")
private Date date;
