David,
Thanks for the reply!
Actually, I solved the problem by taking a different approach - I created a toTimeZone method that
takes a String time zone ID and I put it in UtilDateTime. So, I can achieve the same result with
TimeZone userTz = UtilDateTime.toTimeZone(userLogin.getString("lastTimeZone"));

I'm going to include a small helper method that takes a UserLogin
GenericValue and returns a TimeZone object. I don't know where to put
it. UtilDateTime.java seems like a good choice, but it is a part of
the base component, so I'm not sure if it should depend on the entity
component. I looked around in the common component but I didn't see an
appropriate home there.
Checkout the UtilHttp.getCurrencyUom method. It gets the GenericValue
from the session, but just treats it as a Map to avoid a compile time
dependency on the entity component.
These little utility methods should probably just go into the UtilHttp
ones, along with the currency and locale methods.
