I tried using the below pattern for the same: yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZZZZ

Unfortunately, the output is not the same. Below is the output for the same:

Can you please suggest what should be the correct pattern for this? Below is the code block where I am putting the inputs:-

Answer 1

Pattern for a time zone with a colon: yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSXXX

WebMethods pub.date:getCurrentDateString uses java.text.SimpleDateFormat.

From the Java 1.8 Date and Time Patterns (adapted to fit the question):

Letter	Date or Time Component	Presentation	Example
X	Time zone	ISO 8601 time zone	-07
XX	Time zone	ISO 8601 time zone	-0700
XXX	Time zone	ISO 8601 time zone	-07:00
