Is there any simple way to add timezone formfield other than this code? I mean by using any simple method or JQuery something?

well, you can always populate your select field from json data and use this plugin: http://ivaynberg.github.io/select2/ .. but.. it's not simpler :)

Your approach is as easy as it can be: You know exactly, which values are displayed, which values are sent to the server on submit, which order the values have etc. You approach will work without Javascript as well, and you have not to rely on any external library.

Since you are using this code on only one page, you have no problem with duplicate code in your pages. So, my recommondation is, keep this code, it is the simplest solution, and you will be fine.

However, once you use this code on different pages, you can use a custom JSP tag instead of copying it everytime.
