JPA TemporalType.Date giving wrong date

I was experiencing this same issue but I was using JSF 2 as the front end. If you are using JSF components look at this other stackoverflow discussion and see that JSF 2 does not play by the expected TimeZone rules. The designers Implemented it to always use GMT. In my situation this caused my Dates to be off by 5 or 6 hours in the database, but display correctly.

JSF convertDateTime renders the previous day
