Giljo Scaria updated AXIS-2673:
-------------------------------
Description:
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 such.
But getValueAsString(Object value, SerializationContext context) method in the
CalendarSerializer takes in a parameter of Object type, and then uses
Calendar.getTime() to get the Date.This results in creating a new
java.util.Date object with default timezone and hence the original Timeone
associated with the Calendar object is lost.
The issue is that the Date returned by Calendar.getTime() doesn't maintain the
calendar's time zone , and developers at sun says this is by design.
Axis then formats this date object to GMT and results in incorrect time.
But the actual Calendar object passed in was already in GMT.
Axis should have taken care of checking the Calendar's Timezone and format the
date accordingly, instead of blindly believing it to be in the default TimeZone.
