linux - Change Timezone in Tomcat

Question

How can I change the timezone in Tomcat? The timezone used by one of the webapps (Solr) is not right (compared to MySQL timestamps), and I think changing Tomcat's timezone will help. Thanks!

Answer 1

Unless tomcat has a personal TZ environment variable, then it uses /etc/localtime which on my system is a copy of /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York.

Tomcat's personal timezone would be specified in its startup script in a form like:

-Duser.timezone=GMT
