Resolving ORA-01882: timezone region not found

Recently I have changed my oracle jar version in Tomcat lib to ojdbc6-11.2.0.4.jar and started to see following error while starting tomcat.

java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-01882: timezone region  not found

I have got same issue sometime back with my sqldeveloper, and fixed by adding some java options to its property file, so this time I tried the same in catalina.sh:

export JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Duser.timezone=+05:30 "

Restart tomcat and the error log is no more.
