Thank you for all this useful information. I've just created a account so I can comment.
My JVM Report shows user.timezone=GMT but my print out statements in a couple of web services prints a default time zone that is the same as the timezone on the host itself. I ended up changing the timezone programmatically via TimeZone.setDefault (....) but I found something interesting and perhaps expected. Apparently web applications are threads in the same JVM. I found that changing the timezone in one web service changes the timezone for all.
Back to JVM Report, while my report contains:
...
user.home = /root
user.language = en
user.name = root
user.timezone = GMT
....
I don't see where any of these stuff is set in the adimin console. I don't see it in JVM Options??? Under Configuration->System Properties, I have like zero properties defined?
Any comments?
Thank you.
