When trying to complete the JNDI part of the tutorial, this error came up on the Pivotal tc server. However, from Googling it seems its a problem with the mysql connector.

I put serverTimezone=UTC onto my database url in my context.xml file and it was fine. I’m not over-thinking it… moving on.

I have been a software developer since 2004 and have worked in many different languages. I started off using scripting languages on the web and transitioned into Enterprise Java development. I have worked as a Team Leader and independent contractor in this capacity. I then decided to take a break, before changing direction to create apps for mobile devices. I changed languages and focused more on the business and design side of things for a while. However, I'm getting pretty jaded by the new and shiny, so I am going back to what I know best and retraining in all the new Java ways and really enjoying the process. My Java 8 certification was the start, this blog will tell the rest of the story.
