Please disregard this question. I was doing something silly: Setting the modified date after putting the modified data back into the document.
-----Original Message----- From: Chris Dole [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 30, 2005 5:22 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Problem (re)Setting Dates Hello, I have successfully used the generated code from XMLBeans to read and write from XML files, with one small caveat. I have a date attribute that gets set to the first value that comes in, but subsequent sets do not override the first value. I even tried calling the "unset" method first, but to no avail. Textual elements and attributes all get new values applied, but not the dates. Can someone scan the information below and tell me what I need to do differently? Many thanks, Chris ############################## A fragment of my schema: <xsd:element name="BusObj"> <xsd:annotation> <xsd:documentation>BusObj is the "base class" that contains fields common to all other business objects.</xsd:documentation> </xsd:annotation> <xsd:complexType> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:element ref="boc:Title"/> <xsd:element ref="boc:DescriptionText"/> </xsd:sequence> <xsd:attribute ref="boc:Id"/> <xsd:attribute ref="boc:OwnerId"/> <xsd:attribute ref="boc:Shared"/> <xsd:attribute ref="boc:DateCreated"/> <xsd:attribute ref="boc:DateModified"/> </xsd:complexType> </xsd:element> <xsd:attribute name="DateModified" type="xsd:dateTime"/> It generates a BusObj class with the following salient methods: /** * Sets the "DateModified" attribute */ public void setDateModified(java.util.Calendar dateModified) { synchronized (monitor()) { check_orphaned(); org.apache.xmlbeans.SimpleValue target = null; target = (org.apache.xmlbeans.SimpleValue)get_store().find_attribute_user(DATEMODIFIED$12); if (target == null) { target = (org.apache.xmlbeans.SimpleValue)get_store().add_attribute_user(DATEMODIFIED$12); } target.setCalendarValue(dateModified); } } /** * Sets (as xml) the "DateModified" attribute */ public void xsetDateModified(org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlDateTime dateModified) { synchronized (monitor()) { check_orphaned(); org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlDateTime target = null; target = (org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlDateTime)get_store().find_attribute_user(DATEMODIFIED$12); if (target == null) { target = (org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlDateTime)get_store().add_attribute_user(DATEMODIFIED$12); } target.set(dateModified); } } /** * Unsets the "DateModified" attribute */ public void unsetDateModified() { synchronized (monitor()) { check_orphaned(); get_store().remove_attribute(DATEMODIFIED$12); } } Here is my wrapper that I call to set the date using a java.util.Date as the input for the XmlCalendar which is then the input for the XML date value. // My wrapper around the XMLBeans private BusObj _xmlbObj; public void setDateModified(Date dateModified) { synchronized(_xmlbObj) { _xmlbObj.unsetDateModified(); _xmlbObj.setDateModified(new XmlCalendar(dateModified)); } } Chris Dole SAS Institute, Inc.
