Description:
===========
How TIBCO ActiveSpaces ManagementMonitor stores Date/Time values.

Environment:
===========
TIBCO ActiveSpaces 2.x
All Operating Systems

Symptoms:
=========
When inserting a value in a tuple of type Date, the date stored in the cache will be updated.

Example:
insert: "2013-05-16T01:00:00+8:00"

value stored: "2013-05-16T08:15:40.032Z"


Cause:
======
TIBCO ActiveSpaces stores the dateTime values in GMT time.

Resolution:
========
This is expected behaviour. TIBCO ActiveSpaces does not support timezones. It stores dateTime values using GMT timezone. This means when a tuple has been inserted and timezone is set to GMT-5 on the machine, the value stored in  cache will be converted to GMT time.
