SQL solution for my JDBC timezone issue

Anyone have a suggestion for setting the timezone back to the Postgres db
default on a connection. JDBC now sets the timezone to be the client which
is my web server and ignores the default timezone that I have set in the
DB. There are large parts of my code that I have never worried about
timezones because the DB would handle it. Before I head down that path, I
thought I would check and see if there was an easier way for me to put it
back into the database.

My latest issue is I create a date object and set it to 3am PST, If I save
it into a timestamp with timezone the db saves it at 3am PST when I pull it
out. If I save it to timestamp without timezone, I get 6am now where as
before I would get 3am.

Any suggestions would be appreciated
