Hi,

Hit exactly the same problem recently. Detailed reading of the spec seems to indicate that adb implements the minimum required by the spec, though perhaps falls short in the requirement to properly document this.

I spent a while rewriting convertToDateTime myself before I discovered that (apologies for wrapping):


import 
com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendarImpl;

[snip]

public static Calendar convertToDateTime(String source) {
    return XMLGregorianCalendarImpl.parse(source).toGregorianCalendar();
}

seemed to do a much more through job. Xerces and xml-apis.jar are in the classpath, so why not? This implementation rounds fractional seconds to the nearest millisecond, deals with BCE dates and year > 9999 and provides a pure Gregorian calendar as per the spec. The only other major difference seems to be that it throws IllegalArgumentExceptions where the original threw NumberFormatExceptions. Might be nice to have the option of throwing an exception if there is loss of precision but it does what I needed it to do.

Unfortunately, the same class is too clever to reliably return an xsd:dateTime-formatted string for convertToString(...) - it gives any of the other xsd date/time formats depending on which fields are set in the calendar - see javadocs. I ended up with:

public static String convertToString(Calendar value) {

    // Set BCE flag if appropriate
    String era = "";
    if (GregorianCalendar.BC == value.get(Calendar.ERA)) {
        era = "-";
    }

    // Build an appropriate SimpleDateFormat for the Zulu timezone
    // SimpleDateFormat seems to handle the variable length year itself
    // Spec indicates it should be pure Greogian
SimpleDateFormat zulu = new SimpleDateFormat(era + "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'");
    GregorianCalendar c = new GregorianCalendar();
    c.setGregorianChange(new Date(Long.MIN_VALUE));
    c.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));
    zulu.setCalendar(c);

// Sun JDK bug http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4229798.html
    // Has been fixed since 1.4?
    return zulu.format(value.getTime());

}

Of course, you could just ensure that all the fields are set first and use XMLGregorianCalendarImpl again.

I've got updated test cases and a rebuilt axis2-adb-1.2.jar somewhere as well, but its built for java5 so I think not strictly speaking correct.

Sorry, don't have the source checked out or maven set up or anything. I'm happy to send my source files to someone who does, if anyone wants them?

hi!

we started to make use of a webservice with generating an Apache Axis2 ADB
webservice client stub. the webservice itself is provided by .NET on a IIS server.

the problem we have is that when the webservice serialize a DateTime Object
in a format of yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.ssssss'Z'   ssssss - dynamic positions
for the fractional seconds
but the ADB (org.apache.axis2.databinding.utils.ConvertorUtil ) that used by
Axis2 expect to format like yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.sss'Z' when the fractional
seconds no more then a three positions

we understands from the webservice suppliers that the format is as define in
W3 specification http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#dateTime http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#dateTime some samples that we get in invoking the webservice 2007-06-20T17:00:37.8380863GMT+02:00
2007-06-20T17:00:45.3GMT+02:00

Thanks,
