Mauro Molinari commented on AXIS2-4370:
---------------------------------------

I think that Axis2 1.5 does the assumption that:
- if I want to work just with the date I use java.util.Date => so it is mapped 
to xsd:date
- if I want to work with date and time I use java.util.Calendar => so it is 
mapped to xsd:dateTime

java.util.Date is not the best way to manage date/time values (for instance, it 
does not handle time zones), except if you use it as container to transport a 
time instant previously determined using a Calendar (a plain long number would 
give the same functionality, though).

I quite agree with the choice Axis2 1.5 does, so I don't think this is a "bug", 
although it breaks your code because of Axis2 1.4.1 different behaviour.

I would like to hear the opinion of the Axis2 developers on this.

Mauro.

> When a method returns a java.util.Date (or an object containing a 
> java.util.Date), only the date portion is returned in Axis2 1.5:
> <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope";>
>    <soapenv:Body>
>       <ns:getCurrentTimeResponse xmlns:ns="http://ws.apache.org/axis2";>
>          <ns:return>2009-06-10</ns:return>
>       </ns:getCurrentTimeResponse>
>    </soapenv:Body>
> </soapenv:Envelope>
> In Axis2 1.4.1, the full date and time was returned:
> <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope";>
>    <soapenv:Body>
>       <ns:getCurrentTimeResponse xmlns:ns="http://ws.apache.org/axis2";>
>          <ns:return>2009-06-10T16:22:22.622Z</ns:return>
>       </ns:getCurrentTimeResponse>
>    </soapenv:Body>
> </soapenv:Envelope>
> This change breaks any application that requires the time portion to function 
> correctly.
