There is no standard way to do this. On client side, you may capture time using Java script and send that information to the server. On server side, you can covert the time to Coordinated Universal Time.

Use GregorianCalendar rather than Date when you have any requirements besides basic display. You can create one for the current time by time-zone using new GregorianCalendar(TimeZone).
