JVM timezone updates and Jboss 4/5/6

Hey all,

Question before it becomes an issue -- If you have a JbossAS server up and running with an application, and you need to update the JVM related to Timezone information (Timezone Updater Tool - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/tzupdater-readme-136440.html), do you need to bounce the JbossAS or the app to get the timezone updates?

To be specific, jboss 4.0.5, but the answer for Jboss5/5.1 EAP and Jboss6 CE would be nice as well.

Thanks!

If I look to the linked article you have to stop JBoss before you update:
You must stop any running instances of the JDK/JRE software to be operated upon before you run the TZUpdater tool on that installed JDK/JRE software image.

This will be the same for all JBoss versions ;-)

[facepalm] thanks Fink for showing me the obvious answer that I missed, I'll go hang my head in shame as I plan the restarts :-)
