Chris already pointed out how to set the time zones per database and per
user.

Some connection poolings also include the possibility to specify
commands which are executed after connecting and before reusing a
connection. For JBoss foo-ds.xml, the syntax would be like:

<datasources>
<no-tx-datasource>
<jndi-name>...</jndi-name>
<connection-url>...</connection-url>
<!-- other settings ... -->
<new-connection-sql>SET timezone TO 5</new-connection-sql>
<check-valid-connection-sql>SET timezone TO
5</check-valid-connection-sql>
</no-tx-datasource>
</datasources>

HTH,
Markus
