Attachments are stripped from the messages sent to the list, so I
can't check your example. So let me ask you this - are you using
Cayenne XMLEncoder/XMLDecoder? It won't handle the dates properly ...
the rest of Cayenne will. If this doesn't help, could you please post
a relevant code example inline (not as an attachment).

Hi there,
I posted this yesterday again. But have just seen that I forgott
the subject. Sorry for that
What I would like to know is how does cayenne handle java.util.date
values ?
My problem is, that I have to import xml files with datetime values
in it of different timezones. For example the file contains the
following tag: date="30.11.2006 22:14:28". In my case it should
represents a datetime value of german format (dd.MM.yyyy hh.mm.ss)
BUT in local korean time. Korean time has an offset of +9h to GMT.
So in GMT the time part is "13:14:28" and in german time (GMT +1h)
it's "14:14:28". For some "historical" reasons I have to persistent
the local datetime value ("28.10.2006 22:14:28"), but of course as
date object instead of a string value.
When I now try to convert the string value into a date-object using
standard java methods I will get an object which reflects GMT time.
But when I try to print it out on a console it will be converted to
local date (thus german date). And that date will be saved by
cayenne in the database. So for me it looks like that cayenne
tries to call toString() on the date object and will get a
recalculated date instead of the original date. If it's true I
think it would be better to use a SimpleDateFormatter instance
because than the you will get a correct datetime string.
I've provided a simple demo class to show what I mean. I used Java
5, cayenne 2.1 and jtds with MS SQL Server 2000.
Thanks
