[google-appengine] Re: appengine TimeZone changed

Try adding -Duser.timezone=UTC to your list of Maven command line arguments when starting the development server. If the timezone is different this looks like it could be a recurrence of an issue that was reported 4 years ago on Stack Overflow , but

The issue is still there, even without setting the default time zone to GMT+00:00 in the ServletContextLIstener. Servlet is showing different timezone in development server. On Wednesday, March 8, 2017 at 12:59:54 AM UTC+5:30, Adam (Cloud Platform Support) wrote: > > The development server

[google-appengine] Re: appengine TimeZone changed

There are really good reasons why an app should not change timezones on the server and why to store all datetimes in UTC. This is especially true in all distributed systems. The app must be designed in a way that it can convert from/to UTC while exchanging data with the outside world or only

[google-appengine] Re: appengine TimeZone changed

Thanks for the reply. What about in development server? Can we change the app-engine time zone in development server? Because we want to test date behavior for different time zones and we are facing the difficulties in testing the different time zone dates. On Sunday, March 5, 2017 at 3:44:33

The timezone in App Engine is always set to UTC and cannot be changed. You'll need to convert between UTC and the timezone you wish to use. You can refer to one of the numerous existing threads on the subject for more background. On
