Hinrik ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=70121%3... ) *commented* on HHH-11396 ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-11396?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiNmRjYT... ) Re: Conversion of Date to LocalDate does not consider timezone difference ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-11396?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiNmRjYT... ) I'm a bit late to the party but this might help someone. I had the same issue with MySQL 8 running in a testcontainer which seemed to using the Europe/Zurich zone of my machine, while my application which connects to the DB explicitly uses UTC. I persist a LocalDate but receive the value of the previous day if I subsequently load it from the DB. Adding serverTimezone, hibernate.jdbc.time_zone, or "SET GLOBAL time_zone" did not help. In the end, the solution described here worked: https://forum.jmix.io/t/localdate-mysql-issue-wrong-day-persisted/1090 ( https://forum.jmix.io/t/localdate-mysql-issue-wrong-day-persisted/1090 ) , namely to include "cacheDefaultTimeZone=false" in the JDBC connection string. No other configuration needed.
