Cockroach Db with Spring Boot - spring

Question

While using Coacroach Db with Spring Boot and Spring Batch, I am getting the following error.
org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: invalid value for parameter "TimeZone": "Europe/London"
Detail: The system cannot find the path specified.
Application.properties
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=org.postgresql.Driver
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQL95Dialect
spring.datasource.username=root
spring.datasource.password=
spring.datasource.type=com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariDataSource
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:26257/defaultdb?sslmode=disable&serverTimezone=UTC&useLegacyDatetimeCode=false
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.jdbc.time_zone= UTC
spring.batch.initialize-schema = always
I also added this and above properties as mentioned somewhere but didn't help.
#PostConstruct
void started() {
TimeZone.setDefault(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
}

Answer 1

Out of curiosity, which operating system are you using? We have an open issue relating to timezones, which is known to affect Windows.
When you specify the UTC timezone, do you receive the same error as you do with "Europe/London"? What if you try using a numerical offset, like "+0:00"?
Also, when setting the timezone through the URL, the parameter should be timezone=utc (or whichever other value you want).

Answer 2

So see a number of issues.
1. You said you are using Coacroach Db but you seem to be loading a JDBC JAR and ULR string for Postgres.
2. Posgres does not have "Europe/London" as a valid TimeZone String. There is a "Europe/London GB GB-Eire"
See: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/datetime-keywords.html
3. You have a space in the time zone property name.
This: spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.jdbc.time_zone= UTC
Should Be: spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.jdbc.time_zone=UTC
