How to use DateSerializer?

[Christian Schmitz]

Hi,

I've tried to use DateSerializer from axis to serialize java.util.Date, but
a NullPointerException was thrown.

This is my mapping in the deployment file:

  <typeMapping
        xmlns:ns="http://pirobase.pironet.de/xsd";
        qname="ns:Date"
        type="java:java.util.Date"
        serializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.DateSerializer"
        deserializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.DateSerializer"
        encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/";
   />  

Regards 
Christian
