DateTime is not a safe type to use in web services. I would recommend using a string or long and parsing it back out to a date object on both sides of the interface.

I have facing some issues with the datetime handling of axis. It looks like in axis, the xsd:dateTime map to java.util.Calendar. I am generating stubs with wsdl2java. A class called DateTimeType is generated by axis based on my wsdl. Here is my schema definition for the DateTimeType. xs:complexType name="DateTimeType"> <xs:simpleContent> <xs:extension base="xs:dateTime"> <xs:attribute fixed="DateTime" name="type" type="xs:string" use="required"/> <xs:attribute name="mandatory" type="xs:boolean" use="optional"/> <xs:attribute name="readonly" type="xs:boolean" use="optional"/> </xs:extension> </xs:simpleContent> </xs:complexType> It looks like axis generated the following code to deseralize the DateTime. java.util.Calendar cal = (java.util.Calendar) new org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.CalendarDeserializer( java.lang.String.class, org.apache.axis.Constants.XSD_STRING).makeValue(_value); Everytime when the server sends the date, it has the format 2007-06-24T00:14:14+00:00 but when the date passes through axis the datetime field value changes to 2007-06-24T00:14:14.000Z with a Z in the tail. My server does not understand this format and reports a SOAP fault. Is there any way to change this? Regards, Suresh Koya
