Date Serialization by Apache Client.

[Ramaswamy, Muthu]

Hi All-

When I pass the Date with time component set to 00:00:00, Apache Client
after serialization adds 8:00 hours to the time portion?

Do I have specify any special format or is it due to some kind of bug in
serializer?. 

Here is a sample code I am using on the Axis Client
======================================

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
String textDate = "2002-11-11";  //required 10/29/2002 7:20:59 PM.
Date requestDt = null;

try
{
   requestDt = sdf.parse(textDate);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
     System.out.println("Exception in Parsing Date");
}

When I pass the above date, after Serialization, the output is:
============================================
  
 <requestDt>2002-11-11T08:00:00.000Z</requestDt>

I would expect to see 2002-11-11T00:00:00.000Z . Appreciate any input to
resolve the problem.

Thanks.,
