Do not set TimeZone when it is not specified
--------------------------------------------

         Key: XMLBEANS-242
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLBEANS-242
     Project: XMLBeans
        Type: Wish
  Components: Binding  
    Versions: Version 2    
 Environment: JAVA 1.4

    Reporter: Akram BEN AISSI
    Priority: Trivial



When setting a Calendar on a XmlObject  , the TimeZone is added. If the 
Timezone is not specified, the  defaut Timezone (getDefaultTimeZone() ) is set.
Example:  I have a dateOfBirth node in my XML. I do this.
myObject.setDateOfBirth( new GregorianCalendar());
then my XML looks like this:
<dateOfBirth>2005-01-04+01:00</dateOfBirth>
If i do this:
Calendar dob =  new GregorianCalendar();
dob.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
myObject.setDateOfBirth( dob);

I get this:
<dateOfBirth>2005-01-04Z</dateOfBirth>

If I do this:
Calendar dob =  new GregorianCalendar();
dob.setTimeZone(null);
myObject.setDateOfBirth( dob);

I got a null pointer exception.


My problem is how can I do if I do *not* want the Timezone to be printed in my 
XML. I know that xs:date specifies that the timezone is optional, but for 
display reasons I don't want to show it.

Do you have any clue about this problem? What I suggest is to not display 
Timezone if it is not present.
