Timezone region not found

Question

Hi Evrybody,
I am using JDev 11 + WLS 10.3 . When i trying to deploy my fussion web application in remote server i am getting below error.
oracle.jbo.JboException: JBO-29000: Unexpected exception caught: java.sql.SQLDat
aException, msg=ORA-01882: timezone region not found

nImpl2.java:286)
Truncated. see log file for complete stacktrace
Caused By: java.sql.SQLDataException: ORA-01882: timezone region not found
For this in my ViewController -> project properties -> Run/Debug/Profile ->Edit my profile and kepted Virtual Meachine - > JavaOption as -Duser.timezone="GMT-12:00"
same as in ModleController also.
And in my view object i am using datatype as date and by default get the date "adf.CurrentDate" for bring when form loads.
In my remote server creation time selected jdk JRock as default selected.
How i can resolve this.
TIA

Yes, by setting the user time zone. Or not setting the zone at all and enabling the automatic DST switch in Windows Server (assuming you're on Windows).
If you enable the DST switch, then the JVM does not report "GMT+1:00" for example, but something like "Europe/Berlin" which is a TZ ID known to the database.
If I remember correctly, it works like this:
The transaction tries to read the time zone from the session's LocaleContext.
If that's not there, then it uses TimeZone.getDefault().getID().
The ID is then passed "as is" into the SQL builder method.
So you could:
- Change the JVM default timezone ID
- Switch on automatic DST handling on the server OS
- Put a different user timezone into the (BC4J) session's locale context
- Create your own SQL builder and override setSessionTimeZone()
Do you still get the same exception and the same stack trace, even when you specify a user time zone? Strange!
Would be interesting to know what the SQL builder tries to set. Maybe you could create a tracefile or put the JDBC driver into logging mode and see what the parameter is.
