java.lang.NullPointerException

java.util.GregorianCalendar.computeFields(GregorianCalendar.java:1996)

	at java.text.SimpleDateFormat.format(SimpleDateFormat.java:876)

It appears that in mysql-connector-java-5.1.10-bin.jar:
com.mysql.jdbc.PreparedStatement line: 4728

this.tsdf.setTimeZone(this.connection.getServerTimezoneTZ());

is null.

The combination "
useGmtMillisForDatetimes=true&amp;serverTimezone=Europe/Zurich&amp;" in my
tomcat's server.xml appears to fix it.
Any better hints?

    Thanks in advance
