Pétur Runólfsson commented on AXIS2-4370:
-----------------------------------------

I fully agree that java.util.Date is not the best way to manage date/time 
values. However, it is equally bad whether the time is included or not. I don't 
see how the lack of time zone has any effect on the choice between xs:date and 
xs:dateTime, a time zone is optional for both of those types. If fact, the xml 
schema type that is the closest match for java.util.Date is a xs:dateTime 
without a time zone.

Xml schema has a bunch of date/time types, most of which don't have any good 
match in java.util. If Axis2 is to support xml types other xs:dateTime, I don't 
think the way to go is to arbitrarily assign Java types to xml types. Instead, 
Axis2 should allow users to specify types to use (for example Joda-time or 
JSR-310) along with mappings and formatting/parsing functions. If JSR-310 is 
approved, it would of course make sense for Axis2 to support it directly.

> When a method returns a java.util.Date (or an object containing a 
> java.util.Date), only the date portion is returned in Axis2 1.5:
> <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope";>
>    <soapenv:Body>
>       <ns:getCurrentTimeResponse xmlns:ns="http://ws.apache.org/axis2";>
>          <ns:return>2009-06-10</ns:return>
>       </ns:getCurrentTimeResponse>
>    </soapenv:Body>
> </soapenv:Envelope>
> In Axis2 1.4.1, the full date and time was returned:
> <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope";>
>    <soapenv:Body>
>       <ns:getCurrentTimeResponse xmlns:ns="http://ws.apache.org/axis2";>
>          <ns:return>2009-06-10T16:22:22.622Z</ns:return>
>       </ns:getCurrentTimeResponse>
>    </soapenv:Body>
> </soapenv:Envelope>
> This change breaks any application that requires the time portion to function 
> correctly.
