Two things: 1) calendar (confusingly) *is* a data object itself. It's a data object with a current date, time *and* calendar rules representation. 2) do we need to use calendar? I guess I'm less sure about that one. I think calendar is used because that's what SDE requires internally: http://edndoc.esri.com/arcsde/9.2/api/japi/docs/com/esri/sde/sdk/client/SeDate.html And also what SDE returns from a Date column in the db: http://edndoc.esri.com/arcsde/9.2/api/japi/docs/com/esri/sde/sdk/client/SeRow.html#getTime(int) My preference would be to continue to use Calendar, unless there's a compelling reason not to do so. Let me know what you guys find out. --saul ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
