Juan, I'm new at this myself, but my schema has dates, and I tested the generated java code to marshall and unmarshall. Also, I examined the API for the Castor Date. The internal representation of a date for Castor is CCYY-MM-DD. Thus, if you save the value as a Castor Date, it will always be in the XML in that format. When you get a date back, you can do one of several things, two of which come to mind right now.
1. call the org.exolab.castor.types.Date.toDate() to get back a Java date, then SimpleDateFormat() it 2. You could use getYear(), getMonth(), getDay() and concat them together Hope this proves useful. I suspect the Castor Date is able to take several "standard" (whatever that is) date formats and properly understand them. I used CCYY-MM-DD before I knew it was the internal format, but I suspect MM/DD/CCYY and MM-DD-CCYY would both be recognized automatically when setting dates. > -----Original Message----- > From: Juan Fuentes [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2003 1:30 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [castor-dev] Using dates in castor > > I know you can map dates with Castor, but how does castor parse dates when > unmarshaling XML.
