Hi RJ,
Wondering why you are hesitating in writing new serializer which can solve
this issue without impacting all code that import the document (as
serializer will not affect deserialization process -- i.e. reading)
You can apply serializer globally or locally to element. Global example i
mentioned previously for element specific it can be
<value name="dateElementName"
field="dateFieldName"
serializer="com.util.JiBXSerializerUtil.dateToW3CDateString"
/>
This way only writing to xml is changed conversion from XML element to Java
Object is default (no change)...
To make things easy, you can do following (applied it globally)
<format type="java.util.Date"
serializer="com.util.JiBXSerializerUtil.dateToW3CDateString" />
public class JiBXSerializerUtil {
...
/**
* Will generate this format
* 2000-05-01T00:00:00.000-04:00
*
* See http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime
* YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sTZD (eg 1997-07-16T19:20:30.45+01:00)
*
* @param date
* @return
*/
public static String dateToW3CDateString(Date date){
//System.out.println("dateToW3CDateString invoked");
//Can not create static instance as this
//class is not thread safe -- else we may have to synchronize method
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:
ss.SSSZ");
String sDate =sdf.format(date);
//as this is not in correct format of time zone for xsd:dateTime
twake with it
sDate = sDate.substring(0, sDate.length() - 2) + ":"+
sDate.substring(sDate.length() - 2);
return sDate;
}
...
Hope this helps...

Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
It's the best place to buy or sell services for
just about anything Open Source.
