javax.xml.bind.JAXBException: java.sql.Date is not known to this context

[Maurer Uwe]

Hello,

I like to write a test client for my Webservice using CXF 2.1.

This is the code creating my client proxy:

   ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("test/wstest-client-context.xml"
);
   String url = "http://localhost:8080/FooService";;
   ClientProxyFactoryBean factory = new ClientProxyFactoryBean();
 
factory.setServiceClass(KonzessionsAbgabenSatzBereitstellenV1Document.class)
;
   factory.setAddress(url);
   client = (FooServiceDocument) factory.create();

The Interface FooServiceDocument is the webservice interface generated from
the WSDL2Java Tool. I use the following JAXB binding file to map xs:dateTime
to java.sql.Date:

<jaxb:bindings version="2.0"
    xmlns:jaxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb"; 
    xmlns:xjc="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb/xjc";
    xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";>

    <jaxb:bindings schemaLocation="porttypes/Http_FooService_document.wsdl">
        <jaxb:bindings node="/xs:schema">
            <jaxb:globalBindings>
 
<xjc:generateElementProperty>false</xjc:generateElementProperty>
                <jaxb:javaType name="java.sql.Date" xmlType="xs:dateTime"
 
parseMethod="com.enbw.foo.soa.tools.wsdl2java.DateConverter.parseDateTime"
 
printMethod="com.enbw.foo.soa.tools.wsdl2java.DateConverter.printDateTime"/>
            </jaxb:globalBindings>
        </jaxb:bindings>
    </jaxb:bindings>
</jaxb:bindings>


This is the code calling the service:

   ...
   java.sql.Date now = new java.sql.Date(System.currentTimeMillis());
   ArrayOfFoo result = client.getFoo("DE", now, now);
   assertNotNull(result);
   ...
 

Running my client i get an JAXBException at the line where I call the client
("client.getFoo(...)"):

I searched in the list archive but didn't find a real answer to my problem.
java.sql.Date is part of the jdk 1.5, so I assume it's not a class loading
problem.

Any hints?
