  Context context = mock(Context.class);
  ModelAndView modelAndView = mock(ModelAndView.class);
  given(context.getTimezone()).willReturn("timezone X");

  new UserDataInterceptor(context)
  .postHandle(null, null, null, modelAndView);
  //then
  verify(modelAndView).addObject("timezone", "timezone X");
}
