I don’t know JasperReports, but generally speaking, using the JSR-310 (Java 8) date/time types (supported by JDBC 4.2) should work without having to worry about time zone mismatches between database server and client.

See Using Java 8 Date and Time classes in the PostgreSQL JDBC driver documentation.
