Title: RE: How to use DateSerializer?

Hi Christian

There is no mapping in my deployment file for my Date field directly, because it is a embedded in another type. The entry for that type is as follows:

BeanSerializer takes care of the rest. The Transaction class has a getter and setter for for the Date field. Here's what goes over the wire:

Hope this helps.

Hi Naresh,

I testet it with nightly build version. You are right, that the xsd:type is now mapped to dateTime, but the Data still contains a String like this "2002-07-02".  can you please send me your mapping entry in your deployment file? I think this is the only position where I coult have made something wrong.

Thanks

Christian

I am currently using the nightly build of Axis. It appears that Date is now correctly mapped to xsd:dateTime. And that is what JAX-RPC specification asks for. I have found that the conversion to/from Date works fine for this build.

The bean serializer maps the java Date type to the SOAP "xsd:date" type,
which doesn't include time information. I assume this was intentional,
although I don't particularly like it!

To send a date-time (xsd:dateTime), the only way I have found is to use the
Calendar type. Note however that the time zone information is lost when
serialized, and when deserialized is assumed to be GMT. I consider this to
be a bug, as the serializer should either include time zone information or
convert it to GMT, depending on what the RPC standard is capable of. The
work-around is to make sure you create your Calendar objects in GMT before
sending them through axis.

I would prefer it if Date was mapped to xsd:date instead of xsd:dateTime.
There could be a new class included with the axis distribution to represent
an xsd:date type in java.
