Found the problem... The Calendar object returned over binding.ws, GregorianCalendar object, has a gregorianCutover field set to -9223372036854775808 (== Long.MIN_VALUE). Whereas the one returned by Calendar.getInstance() has the field set to GregorianCalendar.DEFAULT_GREGORIAN_CUTOVER = -12219292800000L. Here is what javadoc for GregorianCalendar.setGregorianChange() says: "To obtain a pure Julian calendar, set the change date to Date(Long.MAX_VALUE). To obtain a pure Gregorian calendar,set the change date to Date(Long.MIN_VALUE)."
