I'm trying to map the values that come from the Front-End to ZoneId class like this:
Optional.ofNullable(timeZone).map(ZoneId::of).orElse(null)
For most time zones it works fine, however, for some values Java throws exception:
java.time.zone.ZoneRulesException: Unknown time-zone ID: America/Punta_Arenas
However, it is a valid time-zone according to IANA: https://www.iana.org/time-zones
Zone America/Punta_Arenas -4:43:40 - LMT 1890
I was thinking about using offset for such time-zones (just to hardcode values), but I guess there should be more convenient way to solve the issue. Is there a way Java can handle that?
Other timezones that are not supported:
- America/Punta_Arenas
- Asia/Atyrau
- Asia/Famagusta
- Asia/Yangon
- EST
- Europe/Saratov
- HST
- MST
- ROC
