I have a time zone problem and I'm using the following code to try and figure 
out what's going on:
void test(){
                Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
                logger.info("Time zone according to Calendar:" +  
cal.getTimeZone().getID());

                DateTime dateTime = monthYearFormatter.parseDateTime("05.2009");

                logger.info("Joda TimeZone is: " + dateTime.getZone().getID());

                LocalDate start = 
dateTime.toLocalDate().dayOfMonth().withMinimumValue();
                LocalDate end = start.plusMonths(1);

                Date d1 = start.toDateTimeAtStartOfDay().toDate();
                Date d2 = end.toDateTimeAtStartOfDay().toDate();

                logger.info("d1 = " + d1.toLocaleString());
                logger.info("d2 = " + d2.toLocaleString());
}
Running the code on the command line gives me correctly
Time zone according to Calendar:GMT+01:00
Joda TimeZone is: +01:00 
d1 = 01.05.2009 00:00:00
d2 = 01.06.2009 00:00:00

The exact same code running in Tomcat (5.5 also tested with 6.0) and on the 
same machine as above (Tomcat has Europe/Berlin (CEST) as the time zone) gives 
me 
Time zone according to Calendar:Europe/Berlin
Joda TimeZone is: UTC
d1 = 01.05.2009 02:00:00
d2 = 01.06.2009 02:00:00

Where is the UTC coming from?  Is it because I'm parsing a date that doesn't 
belong to any time zone?
 
The problem is that I need to pass the java.util.Date instances on the jdbc and 
the time part must be 00:00:00 in order for the query to work.
