Axis CalendarSerializer ignores the TimeZone while formatting the date
----------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: AXIS-2673
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS-2673
             Project: Axis
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Serialization/Deserialization
            Reporter: Giljo Scaria


While serializing java.util.Calendar object CalendarSerializer class ignores 
the Timezone set in the calendar object.
It always considers the date object to be in the default timezone.

Default behaviour of Axis is to convert the date to GMT.But if the passed in 
date or calendar object is already in GMT timezone, it should preserve the time 
as it is.

But  getValueAsString(Object value, SerializationContext context) method in the 
CalendarSerializer takes in a parameter of Object type, and then cast it to 
java.util.Date .This results in creating a new java.util.Date object with 
default timezone and hence the original Timeone associated with the date object 
is lost.

Axis then formats this date object with different timezone and results in 
incorrect time.
