There is a slightly simpler/cleaner way:
Calendar datestamp = Calendar.getInstance();
datestamp.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
UTCdateTimeZType dtmz =
UTCdateTimeZType.Factory.newValue(datestamp);
UTCdatetimeType utcdtm =
UTCdatetimeType.Factory.newValue(dtmz);
hdr.xsetDatestamp(utcdtm);
But the main reason you have to work hard is that the same Java type
(Calendar) corresponds to both union members. So if you had say a union
of int and string and did hdr.setValue("string") then it would be
obvious which of the union members "matches" but in your case it's not,
because Calendar is the Java class for both "date" and "dateTime".
XMLBeans in this case picks the first union type that matches. If you
wanted the first union member, then doing
Calendar datestamp = Calendar.getInstance();
datestamp.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
hdr.setDatestamp(datestamp);
would produce the result you wanted. But you want the second union
member, so you have to use xsetDatestamp() and a specific type to convey
this information.
Hope this makes sense,
