Understanding JVM TimeZone Configuration
This article addresses the issue of Java Virtual Machine (JVM) time zone behavior, specifically in Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.5 on Windows Server Enterprise 2007.
Problem: Default GMT Timezone
The issue arises when a Java program defaults to GMT timezone, despite the operating system (OS) specifying a different timezone. This behavior can lead to inaccurate time-based operations.
Solution: Specifying JVM Timezone
To resolve this issue, the JVM can be instructed to use the OS-defined timezone by passing the -Duser.timezone parameter. This parameter sets the timezone for the JVM and overrides any default settings.
For example, to set the timezone to Europe/Sofia:
-Duser.timezone=Europe/Sofia
Alternatively, setting the environment variable TZ on Linux can also achieve the desired result.
