Hi

I noticed that getDate() in org.apache.jackrabbit.value.DateValue is returned by reference. According to the specification it should be a copy. (see. 6.2.7) Do I miss something or is this a bug?

private Calendar date;

public Calendar getDate()
            throws ValueFormatException, IllegalStateException,
            RepositoryException {
        setValueConsumed();

        if (date != null) {
            return date; // <-- HERE
        } else {
            throw new ValueFormatException("empty value");
        }
    }
