Are you at Zulu - 8 hours in your system time zone? The format string that you specify indicates 8:00 Zulu time - so if you're 8 hours behind Zulu (is that PST?) then your time is 8:00 zulu and you have no bug.

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., -Muthu
