Dennis,
Thanks for the reply. If my java object uses a java.util.Date or
java.sql.Timestamp, it looks like I have to explicitly specify the format.
When I try using the conventions mentioned here (
http://jibx.sourceforge.net/details/conversions.html), I receive a namespace
error. How do I set up my mapping file so that I can uses these format
labels?
Also, will JiBX automatically look at the target data type (ie
java.util.Date) and try to automatically convert an xsd:dateTime to it?

Hi Josh,
The format attribute is only used when you're using a non-default
conversion for the value type. The section of the binding tutorial on
serializer/deserializers mentions this:
http://jibx.sourceforge.net/tutorial/binding-extend.html#serdeser ("The
third way of defining custom conversions...). There's generally not any
reason to use this unless you are using different text representations
for the same types of values within the XML (so if you wanted to use the
dollars-and-cents conversion in the Figure 20 tutorial example for some
of your int values, and didn't want to write out serializer="..." and
deserializer="..." in each place where this was done, you could instead
give it a name and just refer to it using format="...").
