Adrian Dick reassigned AXISCPP-291:
-----------------------------------
Assign To: (was: Adrian Dick)
I'm not actively working on this, so shall unassign, should someone else be
able to look into this.
> The dateTime functions parse the year to be from 1970 (as used by the time
> functions), that is to say year 0 = 1970. The XML spec says that year 0 does
> not exist or should represent 1BC (depending on revision)

> I'm still looking at a better solution for dateTime. Currently when decoding
> the dateTime field, the SoapDeSerializer::getElementAsDateTime() returns a
> struct tm. When encoding the dateTime field, the
> SoapSerializer::addOutputParam() method expects a struct tm structure to be
> passed to it. The tm struct is strongly associated with time functions that
> will interpret the year field differently from the definition used in the XML
> specification. For example, tm makes the assumption that year 0 is 1900 (see
> comment in WCHAR.H) while the time functions (defined in time.h) assume year
> 0 is 1970. The XML specification says year 0 does not exist (ISO8601) and
> the later, second edition says that year 0 is 1BC (pushing all minus years
> back one year)! Can we change the type used by time and date functions from
> the current structure type (and all its problems) to a more generic type that
> also caters for timezone offsets. My recommendation would be to create a new
> TimeDate class and to drop all of the required function into methods within
> this class.
> Following on from my earlier e-mail. To make date and time functions work
> correctly, will require a rewrite of AxisTime and the replacement of 'struct
> tm' with either another struct (not very C++) or a new time object.
