Thanks Chris and John for the response.
Chris - We do not use date formats to display, but we are facing issue like
System.out.println(java.util.TimeZone.getDefault().getID()); //This prints
UTC, which is incorrect
System.out.println(System.getProperty("user.timezone")); //which prints
IST, that is correct
System.out.println(new java.util.Date().toString()); //prints Mon Feb 08
10:42:18 UTC 2016.
After restarting tomcat things get reset.
On one of the blogs I found
setting the default timezone at start time is: java -Duser.timezone=<server
time>.
I will try this.
But didn't quiet understood that why suddenly when everything works fine,
one odd day the UTC time zone starts displaying.
