We are using Log4j 1.2.7 in our app and have recently found a problem that seems to only occur with JVM 1.3.
We deploy on Windows and require the system time to be set to GMT. Windows has two settings for GMT, GMT - Greenwich mean time GMT - Casablanca "Greanwhich mean time" there is a checkbox that determines whether the server recoginizes daylight saving time, while "Casablanca" does not. We found a problem where, if we set the server set "GMT - Greenwich mean time", and not check the checkbox for DST, all timestamp generated with PatternLayout are off by an hour. Furthermore, we've found the DailyRollingFileAppender rolls the logfile over at 23:00:00 instead of midnight. If we change the timezone to "GMT - Casablanca", everything seems to work fine. Unfortunately, if we use "GMT - Casablanca", all the times stored in our database are now off by an hour. We do not, however, see this problem with JVM 1.4. Has anyone else seen this before? Can anyone give me an explanation?
