How to change the default timezone
Junior Member Beiträge: 47 Beitrittsdatum: 03.12.08 Neueste Beiträge
Hi,
I am trying to generate the current time as a id to a particular field to my database.Suppose my table 'Z' should have an id like 'yyyymmddhhss' format,But when I generate the id like this, always it is pointed towards GMT, but I want it to be according to my local timezone.
Hope I am clear in explaining my situation.
Can anyone help me,
Regards
Suresh Midde

Set user.timezone in system-ext.properties to a value reflecting your current time zone.

Hi,
I have tried changing
user.timezone=GMT+05:30
in system-ext.properties, but it is not getting reflected. Still it is pointing to GMT time.
I have system-ext.properties under root/web-inf/classes
I think this file is not getting loaded, as referring to the document, in the following link,
http://docs.liferay.com/portal/4.2/official/liferay-customization-guide-4.2/multipage/ch01s03.html
3. system.properties
The system.properties file is provided as a convenient way to set all properties for the JVM machine and related system settings. Start your application server with the system property system.properties.load set to true to load it. When the server starts, the portal will load system.properties and then system-ext.properties.
Start your application server with the system property system.properties.final set to true if the properties of system.properties override all similar command line properties. If set to false, the properties of system.properties will be set if and only if those properties are not currently set.
Some application servers require you to set the file.encoding and user.timezone on startup regardless of system.properties because the application server reads these properties before system.properties is ever loaded.
Do I need to explicitly tell my tomcat to load system-ext.properties
Help me in this regard

Check that your startup sh or bat file does not contain jvm setting of -Duser.timezone=GMT for JAVA_OPTS

If you want to set Indian Time zone you can use setenv file and put the property
-Duser.timezone=IST
-Duser.timezone=IST

Finally I got the solution for setting timezone.
I have set timezone in system-ext.properties file as
but still time will be shown as UTC timezone.
After that I have added timezone in setenv.bat file as
Now it will take the IST timezone.

-Duser.timezone=Asia/Calcutta
Now it will take the IST timezone.

Hi Pravin,
Thanks for this solution!
I am working on the same issue,........
but the next difficulty is that how TimeZone settings can be generalized ?..........
means , on a portal different users with their respective local time zones set on their m/c ,must be able to get their local time zones only and not the unique setting set in system-ext.properties and setenv.sh............
how can we set this multiple options(or dynamic options as set by user) in system-ext.properties and setenv.sh.........
I am using liferay 5.2.3. ,ubuntu , tomcat 5.5............
Thanks in Advance!

Hi
Asia/Calcutta is now obsolate. you should use Asia/Kolkata.
