My guess is that the problem is specific to the platform: either the JVM or the OS is adjusting the retrieved time stamp, making it relative to the current offset from UTC. Even though this particular OS is not widely used as a Java EE platform (compared to the number of Linux and Windows boxes out there), I'm a bit surprised the issue hasn't been reported elsewhere. Try using simple Java and C programs to check the File.lastModified() and stat() st_mtime values respectively, comparing the results both before and after the DST switch. That should determine if the problem is in the OS, the JVM, or Tomcat. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
