Do something like this in the jsp page:
<%-- timzone w/o dst --%>
<fmt:setTimeZone value="GMT-5" var="tz"/>
<%
TimeZone tz = (TimeZone)pageContext.getAttribute("tz");
SimpleTimeZone stz = new SimpleTimeZone(tz.getRawOffset(), tz.getID(), 3, 1,
1, 7200000, 9, -1, 1, 7200000, 3600000);
pageContext.setAttribute("stz", stz);
%>
<%-- using timezone with dst rule -->
<fmt:formatDate value="${date_time}" type="both" pattern="yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm"
var="formated_date_time" timeZone="${stz}" />
Check Javadoc of SimpleTimeZone for DST rules in the constructor.
