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? -- Jeff _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
