The server time zone value 'AEST' is unrecognized or represents more than one time zone

Question

I'm trying to setup a simple hibernate application, when I run it I get a stack trace full of errors.

I have the following maven dependencies in my pom.xml file:

<dependency>
        <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
        <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
        <version>5.2.0.Final</version>
    </dependency>
    <!-- http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/mysql/mysql-connector-java -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>mysql</groupId>
        <artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
        <version>6.0.2</version>
    </dependency>

And the mysql version I'm running locally is:

5.7.9, for osx10.11 (x86_64)

I'm running, what seems, a very simple method, and still getting errors:

// create session factory
SessionFactory factory = new Configuration()
            .configure("hibernate.cfg.xml")
            .addAnnotatedClass(Model.class)
            .buildSessionFactory();

// create session
Session session = factory.getCurrentSession();

Model newModel = new Model("....", "...", "...");

// start a transaction
session.beginTransaction();

// save the student object
System.out.println("Saving the model...");
session.save(newModel);

After the above is executed, I get a long stack trace...The System.out.println doesn't print either...So the connection just doesn't seem to be connecting.

I'm focused on this error here:

The server time zone value 'AEST' is unrecognized or represents more than one time zone. You must configure either the server or JDBC driver (via the serverTimezone configuration property) to use a more specifc time zone value if you want to utilize time zone support.

I'm unsure how I fix it?

Edit:

Printing out the Timezone (System.out.println(TimeZone.getDefault());) prints the following details:

sun.util.calendar.ZoneInfo[id="Australia/Melbourne",offset=36000000,dstSavings=3600000,useDaylight=true,transitions=142,lastRule=java.util.SimpleTimeZone[id=Australia/Melbourne,offset=36000000,dstSavings=3600000,useDaylight=true,startYear=0,startMode=3,startMonth=9,startDay=1,startDayOfWeek=1,startTime=7200000,startTimeMode=1,endMode=3,endMonth=3,endDay=1,endDayOfWeek=1,endTime=7200000,endTimeMode=1]]

Edit:

So I looked at the question which was flagged, and tried to change my connection string, but it's still throwing the same stack trace. Below is my new connection url. As you can see I changed the serverTimezone to that of the printed Timezone.getDefault()

jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/parking_hib?useLegacyDatetimeCode=false;serverTimezone=Australia/Melbourne;useSSL=false;

Answer 1

try to add those parameters..

jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/fussa?useLegacyDatetimeCode=false&serverTimezone=UTC

i'm using mysql-connector-java 6.0.4

Answer 2

Turns out 6.x wasn't compatible, moving to 5.1.39 fixed it.

Answer 3

The proper solution, IMHO for AEDT, is to change the URL as follows,

jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/sampledb?serverTimezone=Australia/Sydney

Answer 4

jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/fussa?useLegacyDatetimeCode=false&serverTimezone=UTC

Use & instead of &.

You can try change the timezone on mysql too:

SET GLOBAL time_zone = '00:00'; 

And see the current setting:

SELECT @@global.time_zone, @@session.time_zone;

Answer 5

The exception is thrown because the MySql server timezone (inherited from the system timezone) is in a different format than what the mysql connector expects. You need to set MySql timezone to be 'Australia/Sydney'. Look at this awesome response for details: Should MySQL have its timezone set to UTC?

• populate the mysql schema with the timezone information:

mysql_tzinfo_to_sql /usr/share/zoneinfo | mysql -u root -p mysql

• from mysql run:

SET GLOBAL time_zone = 'Australia/Sydney';

• restart mysql server

Answer 6

This is the problem of the version of the MySQLWorkbench. Upgrade to the latest version which is 8.0 and then add serverTimezone=UTC in your jdbc URL.

String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/your_db?useSSL=false&serverTimezone=UTC";

Answer 7

build.gradle >

compile group: 'mysql', name: 'mysql-connector-java', version: '8.0.11'

application.properties >

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/bookworm?useLegacyDatetimeCode=false&serverTimezone=UTC

-

 mysql --version
 mysql  Ver 8.0.11 for osx10.13 on x86_64 (Homebrew)

This combination works for me.

Answer 8

Hi You need to specify in you URL specifier like below

 @Bean
    public DataSource dataSource() {
        DriverManagerDataSource dataSource = new DriverManagerDataSource();
        dataSource.setDriverClassName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
        dataSource.setUrl("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/jpahibernate?useLegacyDatetimeCode=false&serverTimezone=UTC");
        dataSource.setUsername("root");
        dataSource.setPassword("Password");
        return dataSource;
    }

In the above code snippet have a look on setUrl property

Answer 9

Using default

Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/web_student_tracker?user=root&password=&useLegacyDatetimeCode=false&serverTimezone=UTC");

Answer 10

If you using Spring Boot try to add after your localhost parameter a question mark and this:

?serverTimezone=UTC&useLegacyDatetimeCode=false

So for example i have a mysql database with name: springboottutorial. In this example the param would be look like this:

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/springboottutorial?serverTimezone=UTC&useLegacyDatetimeCode=false

Answer 11

I had a similar issue, i was using mysql-connector-java 8.0.15 (latest), but for some reaon it was still giving me a timezone error, i changed it for mysql-connector-java 8.0.13 and that just did it. Hope thats be usefull.

Answer 12

In MySQL: you may user bellow like:

1. First solution: add serverTimezone=UTC to connection url

   spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mydb?useSSL=false&serverTimezone=UTC
   

2. Second solution: n MySQL my.ini file set default-time-zone value bellow like

   # Set default time zone
   default-time-zone = '+08:00'
   

Answer 13

I have fixed the issue by adding "?serverTimezone=America/Los_Angeles" right after the database name. I am from West Coast and my zone name is "America/Los_Angeles". If you are not sure about your timezone name run below command on RHEL/UBUNTU/CENTOS

11:42 AM  ✔ user1 sfo-server1 Δ [~] Ω  timedatectl | grep "Time zone"
       Time zone: America/Los_Angeles (PDT, -0700)

Solution:

jdbc_connection_string => "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/movielens**?serverTimezone=America/Los_Angeles**"

Answer 14

After loading the time zone data,

SET GLOBAL time_zone = 'Australia/Sydney';

worked for me.

In my case, I wanted the setting to be persistent and none of these worked for me to persist the time zone and finally I went for the option in mysql doc to set the start up parameter as below,

--default-time-zone=Australia/Sydney

The most common option was to set this in my.cnf and this didn't work for me, either.

NOTE: Mine is CentOS 8 & MySql 8
