ColdFusion Timezone Change

So I've been working on a component to accept data from whatever and insert it into our Oracle database, no big deal.  But, I need to do this with date and times, which gets really sticky with Oracle.  I noticed however that my ColdFusion function Now() was returning the wrong time, about 5 hours off, which corresponds to my timezone (-5).

I looked all through the ColdFusion Admin but wasn't able to find anywhere to specify this.  I then seem to remember that when I setup this server, and installed ColdFusion on it, that I had the wrong timezone set and somehow that must have been saved.  Since ColdFusion relies on Java I needed to change the time zone with the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) that ColdFusion runs.  Here is how I did it:

1. First, find the correct timezone ID for your location.  I found mine by going here.
2. Login to the ColdFusion Admin
3. Under Server Settings go to Java and JVM
4. Locate the JVM Arguments textarea
5. Add a space after the last character, then "-Duser.timezone=" and then your timezone ID.
6. Click the "Submit Changes" button
7. Restart the "ColdFusion 8 Application Server" service
8. Verify your time shows correctly now.
