There are a number of problems going on here:
First the JDBC driver didn't support using an alternate Calendar until
very recently. This functionality is only in the 8.0 series.
Second it doesn't make sense to store a timezone with a date alone. You
need time information as well, so you've selected the wrong pg datatype
"date" and should probably be using "timestamp with time zone".
Finally the javadoc says
To conform with the definition of SQL DATE, the millisecond values
wrapped by a java.sql.Date instance must be 'normalized' by
setting the hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds to zero in
the particular time zone with which the instance is associated.
I believe this means your whole setTimeInDate method is not legal.
