UnresolvedUnionException

[Nick Beenham]

Hi all,

I'm trying to resolve another exception... currently my code looks like:

    @XmlElement(name = "TriggerDate")
    @XmlSchemaType(name = "date")
    protected XMLGregorianCalendar triggerDate;
    @XmlElement(name = "TriggerTime")
    @XmlSchemaType(name = "time")
    protected XMLGregorianCalendar triggerTime;


public void sendMessage(Msg msg) throws IOException {
 log.debug("Entering test message send...");
ReflectData reflectData = ReflectData.AllowNull.get();
Schema schema = reflectData.getSchema(Msg.class);
    DatumWriter<Msg> writer = new ReflectDatumWriter<Msg>(schema);
    ByteArrayOutputStream os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

    Encoder encoder = EncoderFactory.get().binaryEncoder(os, null);
        writer.write(msg, encoder);
        encoder.flush();
        os.close();
        KeyedMessage<String, byte[]> data = new KeyedMessage<String,
byte[]>(TOPIC_NAME, os.toByteArray());

        producer.send(data);
 }

and I'm getting the following exception:

org.apache.avro.UnresolvedUnionException: Not in union
["null",{"type":"record","name":"XMLGregorianCalendar","namespace":"javax.xml.datatype","fields":[]}]:
2014-10-22

Any ideas?

Nick
