I'm setting export CATALINA_OPTS= "Duser.timezone=America/Los_Angeles"
in my init.d script that starts up the tomcat(haven't set it in
$CATALINA_HOME/bin/setenv.sh)...but will try that as well ....i wrote a
simple java function that print the date, and when I call java foo, it
prints the correct date format. I haven't tried the jsp page, but will
also try that...seems as if tomcat is ignoring everything I set.

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?
