For those of you still on Lucee 5.4, it appears that a change in Tomcat after v9.0.98 may have broken the the regional settings in Lucee. While we have all our of Lucee configurations set to US/EN, we noticed our production servers were showing timezone as GMT-0400/GMT 0500 instead of EST/EDT as expected. In looking into things, we noticed that our production servers were set to en_GB, where as all of our testing environment was set to en_US. So even though Lucee's regional settings were set to en_US, it was still picking up the OS locale. To resolve this issue, we ended up adding the following JVM arguments to force the server to the expected locale:

-Duser.country=US -Duser.language=en

So if you're seeing weird timezone issues in your applications using a new version of Tomcat, this might be the cause.

oh, good find, can you drop a comment here? https://dev.lucee.org/t/lucee-5-4-7-2-lts-release/14838

Done my friend!
