Description
SHORT SUMMARY: JRE fails to detect default timezone on Linux post 6u18 INDICATORS: A non standard setup where the /etc/localfile is symbolic but doesn't point to a file in /usr/share/zoneinfo. COUNTER INDICATORS: TRIGGERS: Cu is upgrading their TIBCO product which uses JRE 6u22. Bug fix 6456628 has changed behaviour for default TZ detection. KNOWN WORKAROUND: Use a static file for /etc/localtime or if Cu insists on using symbolic link, have it point to a directory structure idential to /usr/share/zoneinfo/ PRESENT SINCE: 6u18 HOW TO VERIFY: NOTES FOR SE: Investigate if TZ detection code on linux can be altered so that we don't create a dependency for a symbolic link to point to a zoneinfo directory : http://opengrok.ie.oracle.com:8080/opengrok/s?defs=getZoneName&project=6.0u21_ sccs REGRESSION: For this Cu setup - Yes. (escalated)
