incorrect time from CF

[denverrails.com]

All time functions appear to be based off GMT and not actual system time
adjusted for time zone. The function #now()# used to show local date/time and
now is off by my location's GMT offset. I updated JVM (per
[url]http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=d2ab4470[/url]) but no luck.
What makes this worse is queries based on time conflict between CF time, which
is in error, and SQL server time, which is correct. Any help is appreciated.

what's the server's OS tz set to? cf takes it's tz cue from the underlying java
SDK. i guess start by checking what the server's default is, what does this report:

tz=createObject("java","java.util.TimeZone").getDe fault();
writeoutput(tz.getDisplayName(true,tz.LONG));

is it *your* tz?

tz=createObject("java","java.util.TimeZone").getDe fault();
writeoutput(tz.getDisplayName(true,tz.LONG)); returns 'Mountain Daylight
Time', that is my timezone yet timestamp in debug still shows mytime +7 hours

This is a win2k server. time zone already said mountain but apparently did not
get picked up by java??? I changed it to something other , then back again
and restarted coldfusion. Success. Thanks PaulH!!!
