Can't cast [March, 04 2025 09:20:38 -0800] to date value

[nonfatmedia]

Version Lucee 6.2.0.321
Loader Version 6.0.3.1
Servlet Container Apache Tomcat/9.0.89
Java 21.0.5 (Eclipse Adoptium) 64bit
OS Windows Server 2022 (10.0) 64bit
Architecture 64bit

worked fine in 6.1x

upon further inspection it seems serializeJSON is creating the bad data that lucee can’t read.

serializeJSON(now())

See here:

DateTimes treated differently between Lucee 6.1.1.118 and 6.2.0.321

After updating to new version Lucee our app blew up wherever it had a struct with a timestamp created with now() that was serialized to JSON and then deserialized to be used again as a datetime. It seems that whenever a negative offset was added during the serializeJSON() call (a positive offset still works), Lucee would throw an error saying it could not be used as a date. To reproduce: dump( { "Java version" : server.java.version, "Lucee version" : server.lucee.version } ); for( i=0; i <= 9…

We encountered it using serializeJSON( now() ) as well. It only errs when the ofset is a negative value.

I actually reported https://luceeserver.atlassian.net/browse/LDEV-5278 . At the time I hadn’t realized that that date was being formatted in that way by serializesJSON(). Even though the date is not considered valid should serializeJSON() format it that way in the first place? Seems like a strange format.
