RE: Date vs Calendar roundtripping

Russell,

 

If you haven't got this on this list of issues yet, I would put it there. Since users are reporting bugs against our lack of Schema type support, I would love to get a JAX-RPC opinion on this round trip issue.

 

Although I believe the RI doesn't generate WSDL, they embedded it in the generated jar file, so they don't really have this problem with their implementation.  :-(

Subject: TCK: Date vs Calendar roundtripping

This slipped through my cracks. I think we have a problem with the spec, and therefore the TCK.

The spec says:
Date -> xsd:dateTime
Calendar -> xsd:dateTime

But in the other direction:
xsd:dateTime -> Calendar

So if we start with Date, when we roundtrip we end up with Calendar.

Right now it works for us because AXIS maps:
Date -> xsd:date
Calendar -> xsd:dateTime

But we're not following the spec.

HOWEVER, the TCK has methods with Date parameters and others with Calendar parameters that they expect to round trip. I'm inclined to tell them to throw the Date methods out of the test because they can't be roundtripped.
