I don't know exactly what PST8PDT is, but Java prefers the full names
for time zones like US/Central or US/Pacific

Have you tried something like -Duser.timezone=US/Pacific on the java
command line that launches tomcat. You can add that to JAVA_OPTS in
$CATALINA_HOME/bin/setenv.sh

Is your tzdata package in CentOS up to date?

Then again, I haven't done much with directory listings in Tomcat, so
there may be a different issue at work here. Can you create a simple
JSP page that writes java.util.TimeZone.getDefault().toString() and
see what you get?
