Jacob, Thanks for replying,
I'm creating the document from scratch using the code generated from the schema. I'm wondering if it's my use of XmlDateTime that is actually wrong! I created a simple schema which I've included below for reference, with a single xsd:dateTime. Then generated the jar file using scomp. My java code looks like this, to create the document and initialise the XmlDateTime. EXTSYS2CERSPortReport rep = EXTSYS2CERSPortReport.Factory.newInstance(); PortHeaderType header = rep.addNewHeader(); header.setCERSId("CERSID"); header.setExtId("ME"); GDate g = new org.apache.xmlbeans.GDate("2008-05-16T09:41:41"); XmlDateTime xdatetime = XmlDateTime.Factory.newInstance(); xdatetime.setGDateValue(g); When setting the values, this worked header.setTimestamp(xdatetime.calendarValue()); (<Header Timestamp="2008-05-16T09:47:06" ExtId="ME" CERSId="CERSID" xmlns="urn:port/types"/>) but the next statement didn't work, yet xdatetime is an XmlDateTime object, correctly initialised. header.xsetTimestamp(xdatetime); (<Header Timestamp="" ExtId="ME" CERSId="CERSID" xmlns="urn:port/types"/>) So, I ended up calling getCalenderValue() on the xmldatetime object and using the non-xml set method which takes in a calendar to get it working. This is fine for me, as it removes the time-zone from the standard calendar, so it works, but is this the way I should use it?

Can you validate your data and see if there are any errors?
