SimpleDateFormat assertion error

I write this code and I am comparing these two dates, but I get an extra -4:00, I am not sure where it is coming from as I specify that I want yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss which ends at the seconds, so I do not know how to get rid of the -4:00.

   @Test
   public void testOrder5() throws Exception {
      Phone input = new DefaultPhone();
      SimpleDateFormat sf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss");
      Date date = new Date();
      input.setCreatedDate(date);
      Phoneobj output = Book.change(input);
      assertThat(output.getCreatedDate(), is(sf.format(date)));
   }

Error is 

java.lang.AssertionError: 
Expected: is "2013-10-09T14:27:10"
     got: "2013-10-09T14:27:10-04:00"

So I am not sure where the -4:00 comes from or how to get rid of it

public class Defaultphone implements Phone{
private Date createdDate;

@Override public Date getCreatedDate()
{
    return createdDate;
}

@Override public void setCreatedDate(Date createdDate)
{
    this.createdDate = createdDate;
}
}

then my change method consists of 

public static PhoneObj change(Order from) {
     PhoneObj phoneobj = new OrderDto();
    if (from.getCreatedDate() != null) {
             phoneobj.setCreatedDate(dateTimeFormatter.print(from.getCreatedDate().getTime()));
          }
return phoneobj;
}

You have to change your pattern in yout test:

SimpleDateFormat sf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssXXX");

With this pattern you will get the same format used in PhoneObj class.

Looks like output.getCreatedDate() is returning "2013-10-09T14:27:10-04:00". I am sure if you debug output object of the line --> Phoneobj output = Book.change(input); you will know the reason.

Please share the change Book.change(input), if you are unable to find.
