[castor-user] java.lang.IllegalArgument when mapping java.util.Date to constructor argument

[Colin Harris]

Hi,
I have a simple class Trial with constructor
/** Creates a new instance of Trial */
    public Trial(String trialName, String deviceFilename, String 					 
usageFilename, Date start, Date end) {
        this.trialName = trialName;
        this.deviceFilename = deviceFilename;
        this.usageFilename = usageFilename;
        this.start = start;
        this.end = end;
    }

I am mapping the instance variables to the constructor arguments using 
the mapping below. However, I get the exception

org.xml.sax.SAXException: unable to instantiate 
com.colinharris.pm.analysis.Trial; java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: 
argument type mismatch

when I include the two java.util.Date arguments. It works fine when I 
only have the three String arguments. Am I doing something wrong?

thanks in advance
Colin.
<class name="com.colinharris.pm.analysis.Trial">
  <field name="trialName" set-method="%1" get-method="getTrialName"

  </field>
  <field name="deviceFilename" set-method="%2" 
get-method="getDeviceFilename" type="string">

  </field>
  <field name="start" set-method="%4" get-method="getStart" type="date">

  </field>

  <field name="end"  set-method="%5" get-method="getEnd" type="date">
