The problem you are facing is because dateTime is always sent in GMT Timezone over the wire
Once you receive the dateTime in a java.util.Calendar, do: calendar.setTimeZone(java.util.TimeZone.getDefault()); That should give 12:38 back to u.

When it's 12.38.20, and inside java platform it IS 12.38.20, my serialized date is: <until xsi:type="xsd:dateTime">2005-02-07T11:38:20.500Z</until> What's interesting: the server (created by me) sends me over events concerning 12:38 (time in the db) as well wrapping it up with axis as 11:38. I wouldn't care much what's in the SOAP, but another deserialization at client gets me 11:38. So the events are proper, but dates are changed. The timezones of server and client are both the same.
