I'm looking for a little guidance on how to handle some dateTime objects. I have written a custom serializer that ensures my dateTime objects carry the appropriate timezone (and JiBX doesn't convert to UTC). But, I have a need while unmarshalling to retain the timezone info and drop it into another object variable (since java.util.Date objects don't contain TZ info).
The threads I could dig up on this is are all pretty dated, but it sounds like writing my own unmarshaller is in order. However, the HashMap example seems pretty complex ... at least to me since I haven't had to venture into this area... so I'm wondering if anyone has a suggestion for an easier way? Is it feasible to simply change my unmarshalled type to a GregorianCalendar and handle splitting the date/time from TZ in a post-set, etc.? Or is a customer unmarshaller really the best way to go? I know I can always add another object to the XML to explicitly carry the TZ, but this seems like overkill when dateTime already holds the data. Any advice is greatly appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
