Hi Sebastien,
In Castor XML, we are doing data-binding between Java and XML.
XML Schema Recommendation defines different types of date/time to be use
by XML application.
In these types only 'dateTime' fits perfectly java.util.Date. For the other
types, we
provide our own implementation of the types (located as you found out in the
org.exolab.castor.types package).
You can use these types while generating classes from a schema file, however you
can't use it
in the mapping file.
In the following weeks, you'll be able to choose your date format in the mapping
file (a patch
from a castor user will be committed soon).
The java 'GregorianCalendar' type is not supported and I would advice you to use
a Schema type instead if it can fit your needs.
