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

[Meade, Anne]

Hi Colin,

In my experience, I had to convert my java.util.Date type to
org.exolab.castor.types.Date.

Here is the castor date type:
http://www.castor.org/javadoc/org/exolab/castor/types/Date.html

You need to import org.exolab.castor.types.Date;

This is my code:

                Date date = new Date();
                short[] dateVals = {20,04,06,23};  //this date is
2004-06-23
                date.setValues(dateVals);

                item.setShipDate(date);

Hope this helps,
Anne

java.util.Date to constructor argument



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" 
type="string">
     <bind-xml node="attribute"/>
   </field>
   <field name="deviceFilename" set-method="%2" 
get-method="getDeviceFilename" type="string">
     <bind-xml node="attribute"/>
   </field>
   <field name="usageFilename" set-method="%3" 
get-method="getUsageFilename" type="string">
     <bind-xml node="attribute"/>
   </field>
   <field name="start" set-method="%4" get-method="getStart"
type="date">
     <bind-xml node="attribute"/>
   </field>

   <field name="end"  set-method="%5" get-method="getEnd" type="date">
     <bind-xml node="attribute"/>
   </field>

</class>
