I currently have an instance of which server timezone, Postgresql time zone and java time zone has been set to Asia/Colombo. I can see the data been stored in database in local time stamp.
But when retrieving data through web API time stamp is in UTC. Is it possible to change the timestamp of web API output to fall back to local time zone.
Thank you.

Hi Pamod
The convention is to generally do this on the client-side. If the Web API is correctly converting local timezone to UTC and you see +0000 at the end of timestamps, it means the client can change this to whatever timezone its supposed to be in. That seems to be the appropriate approach since users of a web system can be on different timezones and it is the client-side (JavaScript) to correctly display it to be user.
