I got one word for you, Russell. Can you guess what it is? :)
Yup, METADATA! Many-to-one mappings are fine, as long as you have enough information to know what you need to do. On the incoming side, we can feel free to accept any XML type which we know how to coerce to the appropriate Java type (or we could also be stricter about this depending on configuration). On the outgoing side, we serialize to whatever the default mapping of that type is unless we've got some metadata which tells us otherwise. For instance, if we had an OperationDesc which noted a returnType of "xsd:datTime", the logic that serializes the return value from the java method should have access to that and do the right thing (this doesn't work yet, but should). Note also that you can remap particular default types in your service-specific typemapping, so you can easily make Date map to xsd:dateTime for your service (this works now). --Glen > -----Original Message----- > From: Russell Butek [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, March 05, 2002 10:23 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: date vs dateTime (was: cvs commit: > xml-axis/java/src/org/apache/axis/encoding > DefaultTypeMappingImpl.java) > > > The only way to fix this is to have a different Java class for date vs > dateTime.
