All, I have an Apache Axis web service using document/literal encoding that returns an object hierarchy (using the bean serializer/deserializer), one of the attributes on this field is declared as an xsd:date (I also tried xsd:dateTime). The web service client is an .NET application. The problem I am having is that too much information is being sent back to the client when the java.util.Date or java.util.Calendar object is being serialized. In this particular case the value '2003-08-15T18:35:22.981Z' is being returned. In this particular web service I need to only send the date portion back e.g. '2003-08-15' Any recommendations?
Additionally, I do have requirements for other web services to be able to include dates and times together, so I also need to be able to include a date/time string that .NET can successfully parse. Right now, I'm cheating and sending the values back as xsd:string, but I'd like to be able to use a more accurate type declaration. I've thought about writing a custom serializer/deserializer for xsd:date and xsd:dateTime, but I don't have any great desire to reinvent the wheel if it's already been done. Any advice and recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for any and all help! Jason S. Armstrong Applications Manager | Management Science Associates, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
