Re: [Wrapper-user] Daylight Savings Time and use_system_time=FALSE

[Leif M. <le...@ta...>]

Jeffrey,
    I am unclear on the nature of the "event" that you have scheduled?   
Is this a part
of your Java application?

    The Wrapper itself does not do anything with the system clock or 
control how the
JVM process sees the system clock.   No matter what the value of the 
use_system_time
property is, the JVM should see the system time exactly as if it was 
running standalone.

    The use_system_time property is used to control how the Wrapper 
process itself
handles timing internally.   By setting it to false, it uses internal 
"ticks" which is not as
accurate as the system time, but is much more resilient to high system 
loads and changes
in system time.   Neither method is directly visible to the Java 
application.  The tick
method simply makes the Wrapper much more stable under load and makes it 
very
unlikely that a JVM will be restarted due to such loads.

If you want to see what time the Wrapper thinks it is as you change the 
time.  Set the
wrapper.debug=true  property and then watch the wrapper.log file across 
the system
time change.

Cheers,
Leif
