      Specify the following context parameter in the web.xml of the generated scaffold:

      <context-param>
    <param-name>javax.faces.DATETIMECONVERTER_DEFAULT_TIMEZONE_IS_SYSTEM_TIMEZONE</param-name>
    <param-value>true</param-value>

      Specify the following context parameter in the web.xml of the generated scaffold: <context-param> <param-name>javax.faces.DATETIMECONVERTER_DEFAULT_TIMEZONE_IS_SYSTEM_TIMEZONE</param-name> <param-value>true</param-value> </context-param>

      The generated Faces scaffold uses UTC to represent dates and times in all usages of h:outputText. This is the default behavior but is confusing and appears incorrect, since end-users would expect to see the dates and times from the perspective of the server timezone (which is used for storage).

      Also, the stored dates are displayed with an offset of one day when the server timezone is ahead of UTC.
