Resolution: Fixed No reply. Closing. Please reopen, if required. > Configurable or UTC time zone for outgoing date values. > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: XMLRPC-78 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLRPC-78 > Project: XML-RPC > Type: Improvement > Components: Releases > Versions: unspecified > Reporter: James Baldassari > > It appears that the time zone for outgoing date values is always the local > time zone of the server. This has recently caused a problem for me when I > was creating some example XML-RPC programs for a class for which I am the > teaching assistant. For my examples I created a Java client and server using > the Apache XML-RPC library, as well as a C++ client and server using the > xmlrpc-c library. The servers simply sent back a date value when their RPC > handlers were invoked. The problem occurred when using the C++ client with > the Java server or the Java client with the C++ server because the Apache > library uses the local time zone, but the xmlrpc-c library uses UTC. I > realize that the XML-RPC spec specifically states that the time zone cannot > be assumed and that this library mixing scenario is probably not too common. > However, I think that it would be a good enhancement to allow users to > specify the time zone for outgoing date values as they can for incoming date > values. An alternate solution would be to use UTC instead of the local time > zone, and then the clients could convert the date values to their local time > zone if desired. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
