Adam:

I'd do this a little differently and make zObject a member of the
class and do something like:

public class foo{
  static Object zObject = null;

... constructor, etc. ....

  public static Object getZObject(){
    if(zObject == null)
       return new Object();  // stick in the correct constructor here
    return zObject;   
  }

The way I've outlined it you'd only have one of your object in use. 
If you don't mind having multiples you could remove the static
modifier for the object.
