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

Here is what I add at beginning of catalina.sh (after shabang) to change tomcat's timezone:

TOMCAT_TIMEZONE="-Duser.timezone=Europe/Budapest"
CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS $TOMCAT_TIMEZONE"

And don't forget to restart tomcat to take effect.

Answer 2

As said Eric Wang you may use

TOMCAT_TIMEZONE="-Duser.timezone=Europe/Budapest"
CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS $TOMCAT_TIMEZONE"

but on CentOS server I didn't find catalina.sh, instead of that I added these variables to /etc/sysconfig/tomcat6, and that's works!
