http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13167 xsd:datetime can not be converted to java.util.Date Summary: xsd:datetime can not be converted to java.util.Date Product: Axis Version: 1.0-rc2 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: Other Component: Serialization/Deserialization AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1.0-rc1 could convert a received xsd:datetime to java.util.Date. RC2 has lost this capability. The basic problem is as follows: In rc2, BeanPropertyTarget.set(Object value) has added a check before doing the actual conversion: if (JavaUtils.isConvertable(value, type)) { value = JavaUtils.convert(value, type); It is okay to add this check as long as isConvertable() returns true for all types that can be converted by the convert() method. However isConvertable() returns false if value is a GregorialCalendar and type is java.util.Date (which convert() will gladly convert). So the fix is to add two lines of code around line 511 in JavaUtils.isConvertable() as shown below: if (src != null) { ... ---> // Allow mapping of Calendar to Date ---> if (Calendar.class.isAssignableFrom(src) && dest == Date.class) ---> return true; } In addition, both functions, i.e. isConvertable() and convert(), should be checked to make sure they are fully complimentory.
