We ran into this problem as well. Found a solution a few minutes ago.

OSX uses the same tz-link data that Java, Linux, Solaris, etc. uses.

So we symbolic linked the Java directory to the native OSX one:

#!/bin/bash
# You'll want to sudo this.
cd /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK/Home/lib
mv zi zi.old
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo ./zi

You could also copy the zoneinfo instead of linking if you're concerned about Java updates overwriting the tz database.

We also noticed that in WO Java Client, the client's Java timezone database needs to be updated as well.

Hope that helps,
Colin

we are stuck?
Thanks to all for the VERY timely replies to my problem. Art is correct that compiled timezone files are kept in /System/Library/Frameworks/ JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Home/lib/zi.

Apparently the file for my area "Denver" has been fixed in a newer version of the apple java. I downloaded that version and copied the "Denver" file from the zi directory into my 1.5.0 zi directory. Now the problem is gone (so far) on the development system, but still does not work correctly on the deployment system :(
Still searching for a reason...
Thanks to all,
Dan Faber
