    Suppose i have time in a different timezone and i want to convert it to a different timezone, what is the way to do it in Java?

    Create a formatter and set the timezone in there.

    Internally, java.util.Date just stores milliseconds since the Epoch in the UTC timezone.
    When you use Date.toString() or new SimpleDateFormat() without a timezone, then the default timezone of your VM is used.

    So in a sense, Java always converts to your current/default timezone (unless you happen to be in UTC).

    Is there any way to get timezone using Java Script?

    It depends. You can use getTimezoneOffset() but that gives you only the offset. There is no API to get the client’s OSs timezone ID (like UTC, Europe/Berlin, etc.)

    A timezone is just the representation of time…

    Not really. See above.
