Hi all,
I have a german customer with AIX 5.3 and this setting:
root)> echo $TZ
MEZ-1MESZ,M3.5.0,M10.5.0/03:00:00
cat /etc/environment
TZ=MEZ-1MESZ,M3.5.0,M10.5.0/03:00:00
date
Wed Sepg 5 13:34:57 MESZ 2007
Therefore the DST in on on this machine(so it is at GMT+2).

The problem is that Websphere Application Server on the logs continue reporting the local time as GMT+1: 7/21/07 4:59:11:622 GMT+01:00

Even my java applivation, that run inside WAS, when retrieves date from the system gets:
timeZone=[sun.util.calendar.ZoneInfo[id="GMT+01:00",offset=3600000,dstSavings=0,useDaylight=false...

Is the above TZ setting correct?
Is the a problem on AIX with timezone MEZ?
Any help would be apreciated
Thanks
Fabrizio

Hi Fabrizio,

I am having the same problem as yours. new Date() returns value that is 1 hour before the actual time. Did the suggested timezone solve your problem? I tried the new time zone, but it seems that I am still getting the same problem.
