The timezone still gets converted to UTC but now there is an additional timezone information for the original timezone. \r\n\r\nHow does one get the following, because right now it seems impossible. \r\nInput: {\"timestamp\": \"2015-01-01T00:00:00+0800“}\r\nOutput: {\" timestamp\": \"2015-01-01T00:00:00+0800“} \r\n\r\nWithout the flag the output gets converted to UTC,  with the flag it still is UTC but with [+0800] appended to the end. Do we still need a custom serializer? When can we expect a simple idempotent serializer/deserialzer for joda  datetime? "}}
