[Pattern format ignored on textfield using joda.time value]

I previously had an issue of how to stop local timezone conversion for DOB fields.  User darth_fader provided a quick and simple solution.  However, now the textfield pattern is being ignored.   I have MM/dd/yyyy for the pattern but the report is formatting as yyyy-MM-ddT00:00:00.

 

<textField pattern="MM/dd/yyyy" isBlankWhenNull="true">    <reportElement x="123" y="0" width="88" height="20" uuid="40bfec19-25c5-4807-801f-464034799729"/>    <textElement>     <font fontName="Arial" isBold="false"/>    </textElement>    <textFieldExpression><![CDATA[new org.joda.time.DateTime($F{dob}).withZone(org.joda.time.DateTimeZone.forID("UTC"))]]></textFieldExpression>   </textField>[/code]

That answer helped me.  Thank you.  The date is now correct.  However it is ignoring the pattern.  I have MM/dd/yyyy for the pattern but the report is formatting as yyyy-MM-ddT00:00:00.

[Stop Timezone conversion for one field in report]

Thanks for your response.  I'm still a noob in iReports and although I know C#, Javascript and a slew of other languages, java isn't in my back of tricks.

Would I put code in the field def on the report?  Right now, I'm just using a pattern to format the data.

Will I need to add another library for the Joda-Time libraries?  

Sorry to be a pain, just not up to speed on the architecture of adding code to a specific field.

[Stop Timezone conversion for one field in report]

I have a report that has several dates on it.  The dates are stored in the database in UTC format.  I have the report converting UTC to local report time, however, one of the dates is date-of-birth.  The database field is yyyy-mm-dd 00:00:00.  When the DOB is displayed on the report the date/time is adjusted -4, -5 or -6 hours and displays as the previous day.

How can I keep the DOB from being adjusted to local time?
