Putting aside the discussion on date/time/timezone for the moment,
@jiang-wu let's say getObject returns to you an object that implements
java.sql.{Struct|Array}. You now use the Struct|Array apis to get the attribute
you are interested in. If the attribute is of type date|time the object
returned for that attribute should now correspond to java.sql.{Date|Time}
instead of the Json representation. Will that not address your requirement?
