Probably the JDBC driver is setting its TimeZone.  Really, try it:

SET TimeZone="UTC";
SELECT now();

SET TimeZone="EST5EDT";
SELECT now();

and so on.  Try selecting from your table, too, and you will discover
that the time zone of the timestamps changes.  If you're used to
certain other RDBMSes, this mode of functioning will be unusual, but
that really is how it works.

Best regards,
