The US Energy Policy Act of 2005 resulted in changes to the timing of Daylight Saving Time (DST) in the United States. These changes could have a serious impact on your systems and are effective as of March 11, 2007.
Customers running BEA Guardian with the March 9th signature release (1.0.3) will have this issue automatically identified. (If you're already running Guardian, just click "Update" to get the latest signatures.) In addition, they will be provided with notification of specific instances where it is a threat and offered recommended solutions.
WebLogic Server relies on the time conversion functions provided by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) for reporting the local time. If your system relies on the US time zone calendar, the underlying JVM being used by WebLogic Server must be upgraded. These DST time zone changes have been incorporated into the following JVM releases:
- Sun JDK 1.4.2_11
- Sun JDK 1.5.0_06
- BEA JRockit 1.4.2_11 R26.4 and later
- BEA JRockit 1.5.0_06 R26.3 and later

I've compiled a list of options for fixing Java from the top 4 JVM vendors (Sun, HP, BEA and IBM) at the following link:
