Description Raph 2013-06-07 08:43:13 UTC
Description of problem:
Timezone cannot be set to europe.
Before this could be could be done by setting jvm option in an action hooker
or setting time zone in .bash_profile

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
started with the introduction of caridge version 2 a few days ago

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. add export JAVA_OPTS="-Duser.timezone=Europe/Zurich -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8" to the hooker pre_start_jbosseap-6.0
2. create a jsp that print out a date (<%@page import="java.util.*"%><%= new Date() %>

Actual results:
time displayed is the one somewhere in the us
Wed Jun 05 00:48:12 EDT 2013 (error was notice since this date)

Expected results:
time displayed should be the one in europe 
Wed Jun 05 06:48:12 CEST 2013 

Additional info:
Zurich timezone is avaliable if you run this code bellow (result see : http://fapp-esmart.rhcloud.com/test.jsp):
p>timezones : </p>
<%
 String[] tzs = TimeZone.getAvailableIDs();
for(int i=0; i<tzs.length; i++)  {     
%>
<p>iteration : <%= tzs[i] %></p>
<%
}
%>

Raph,

Can you grant the OpenShift operations team permission to view the contents of your application's server logs and the source contents under ~/app-root/repo/.openshift?

I was able to create a new jbosseap-6.0 application and add a '.openshift/action_hooks/pre_start_jbosseap' (mode +x) with the following contents:

  #!/bin/bash
  export JAVA_OPTS="-Duser.timezone=Europe/Zurich -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8"

Which upon push yielded the following output from my test.jsp (same as the reported script):

  Mon Jun 10 19:46:00 CEST 2013

You can see the effect of the hook in /tmp/jbosseap.log in the application gear:

Hi!
I grant the OpenShift operations team permission to view what you need, the only thing is: do I have to do something? if yes let me know.

My action hook was named : pre_start_jbosseap-6.0. Juste to make sure, I've create a copy named pre_start_jbosseap (as yours in your test) and added +x permissions.

The content of /tmp/jbosseap.log says:

=========================================================================

I've changed the test script to be able to see the swiss and default time, on the same page (http://fapp-esmart.rhcloud.com/test.jsp).

I've also tried to export java options manually in ssh console and restart the app, but nothing change :

Comment 3 Hiro Asari 2013-06-13 18:33:15 UTC
Hi, Raph,

With the new version of the cartridges, we no longer use the action hooks with version numbers; i.e., pre_start_jbosseap-6.0 should now be named pre_start_jbosseap.

Could you rename your action hooks accordingly, and try again? (I tested the case you described above, and was successful.)

Further changes may be necessary. Please review https://www.openshift.com/blogs/version-2-cartridge-update-action-may-be-required

Thank you.
