Hi, all. I think I'm working too hard to get the end result I'm looking for. Is there a better way?
Background: I'm working with a schema available at http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/OAI-PMH.xsd. The fragment in question is this: <simpleType name="UTCdatetimeType"> <annotation> <documentation>Datestamps are to either day (type date) or to seconds granularity (type oai:UTCdateTimeZType)</documentation> </annotation> <union memberTypes="date oai:UTCdateTimeZType"/> </simpleType> <simpleType name="UTCdateTimeZType"> <restriction base="dateTime"> <pattern value=".*Z"/> </restriction> </simpleType> My task is to produce an XML document compliant with the schema. I need the datetime defined as UTCdatetimeType to be in UTC format, e.g. ... <header> <identifier>host:repository:1</identifier> <datestamp>2008-04-04T20:16:33.068Z</datestamp> </header> ... I'm doing it, but it feels like too much work to do it like this: Calendar datestamp = Calendar.getInstance(); datestamp.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC")); UTCdateTimeZType dtmz = UTCdateTimeZType.Factory.newInstance(); dtmz.setCalendarValue(datestamp); UTCdatetimeType utcdtm = (UTCdatetimeType) dtmz.changeType(UTCdatetimeType.type); hdr.xsetDatestamp(utcdtm); Is there a simpler, more straightforward way that I'm just not finding?
