DST2007 - 3 Character Time Zone Problems with Java Patch

["Sharma, Siddharth" <Si...@Staples.com>]

Hi
Does anyone know if Tomcat is affected by this?
I have Tomcat 5.5.16 with Sun JRE 1.5 patched with TZupdater on RHEL.
Thanks
Sid

Only if your application uses those timezones. Tomcat internals are
not affected by any of the daylight savings issues.
