User Properties

The table below lists miscellaneous user properties that affect JavaOS operation. Most are related to localization. Certain settings cause other settings to be assumed. For example, setting user.region to ja causes the system to assume the JST time zone, even if user.timezone is not defined.

Table 4-4 JavaOS User Properties
