I think timezone issues are being over-complicated. When you pass a date/time to prepared statement, it only sends date and/or time info to the database server. As per defacto standard, it doesn't manipulate the timezones differences between database server and jvm. And later when you read the date/time from the result set. It just reads date time info from the database, and creates the same date/time in the jvm timezone.
