Looking at the source of TimeZone it uses the following system properties: user.timezone user.country java.home
If user.timezone is not set then a native call is made using user.country and java.home. I'm not sure what happens for a multi-timezone country like Brazil ;)
So you could:
1) pass in the user.timezone system property to the runtime.
2) Set your servers default timezone in code:
TimeZone.setDefault(TimeZone.getTimeZone(id));
where id is one of:
Brazil/DeNoronha America/Sao_Paulo (probably the one you want or maybe Brazil/East) America/Boa_Vista Brazil/Acre or America/Rio_Branco
Are you running Tomcat as a service? If so, you may also want to check that the regional settings for the user running the service are also set to Brazilia.
I would also check what is actually being determined by the JVM. Do something like:
System.out.println(TimeZone.getDefault()); System.getProperties().list(System.out);

Hi everybody
We have a Tom Cat application Server 5.0.19 running in a Windows 2003 with a Sun JDK 1.4.2.
We are having problems with time of our Applications . The time is correct under SO but we have 3 hours of difference in the applications (+3).
Our offset time is Brasilia -3:00 in the Windows 2003 and Regional settings is Portuguese, Brazil.
The method TO GET SYSTEM TIME is new Date()
Any suggestion, How we setup server parameters or application (JVM) parameters to solve this problem?
Thanks a lot in advance
