well there's earthtool's webservice if you need pinpoint accuracy: http://www.earthtools.org/webservices.htm and i guess you could get the lat/long from google maps or one of the geocoding webservices (if you're in the US/Canada/Europe). or one of the place name databases like http://geonames.usgs.gov/domestic/index.html for the US or http://earth-info.nga.mil/gns/html/index.html for the rest of the world. if you wanted something you could "control" & didn't mind fiddling around a bit, there are plenty of sources of geographic data that covers tz. for instance, manifold GIS: http://www.manifold.net/products/maps_and_data_home.html you'd need to stuff that into a spatial database, for example postGIS (based on postgres) or maybe mySQL (it has new spatial stuff). after you move the tz data to the db, it's just a matter of a simple db query. for something a bit coarser, icu4j provides a get tz by country via com.ibm.icu.util.TimeZone getAvailableIDs() method by passing in a 2-letter ISO country code. it seems to work well. it's based on the CLDR.
