Java Calendar returning wrong time

I have an app running on two Centos machine. The app running on both servers is identical
when I run the following code, on one machine I get correct time but on the second server, I get 5 hrs early time.

Corret : 22/04/2009 10:22:23
Wrong : 22/04/2009 05:22:23

linux date command and locale command outputs for both servers are same. Can someone tell me where else I need to check?

Thanks
Bill
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
        SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
        return sdf.format(cal.getTime());

>         SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");

and change that to

        SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss z zzz");

that way we can see the tz being used
