I believe that it is JAXB that defaults to a Gregorian calendar.
In any case, I think the best way to get full control of this is to create an
XMLAdapter and annotate your field like this:
/**
* @return the allergyStartDate
*/
@XmlJavaTypeAdapter(com.akimeka.ws.common.DateAdapter.class)
So, here is an example of an XmlAdapter that accepts dates in a variety of
acceptable formats. It uses org.apache.commons.lang.time.DateUtils.
As seen in the marshal method, it emits dates using the
DEFAULT_DATEFORMAT_STRING format.
You can change this up as needed. You just need to implement the marshal and
unmarshal methods.
Hope this helps.

Subject: Julian to Gregorian calendar Switch. CXF behavior managing dates
before 15/10/1582
I'm building a web service in java, deploying it under Jboss-as-7.1.1.Final,
based on org.apache.cxf 2.4.6.
I need to expose a web method that takes in input a date field that can reach
many centuries in the past. At the moment I'm using java.util.Date in my
request bean. So, my web method is
/public UpdatePersonResponse updatePerson(UpdatePersonRequest request) { ...
}/
The request bean UpdatePersonRequest has the date field, with getter and
setter:
/...
private Date birthday;
.../
In the soap request that I'm testing I put:
/
<birthday>1452-04-15</birthday>/
The apache cxf logs show:
/16:07:36,568 INFO [org.apache.cxf.interceptor.LoggingInInterceptor] ...
Inbound Message
[...]
<birthday>1452-04-15</birthday>/
(this is correct)
A custom log I added into the set method of the request bean shows:
/
16:07:36,843 DEBUG com.xxx.xxx.service.request.UpdatePersonRequest ...
called setBirthday with argument [06/04/52 0.00]/
(this is wrong)
Then the request bean is valorized as follows:
/UpdatePersonRequest [... birthday=Thu Apr 06 00:00:00 CET 1452, ...]/
(this is wrong)
So I obtain 1452 April 06, and not 1452 April 15.
I tried with different dates, for example, soap:
/<birthday>1452-04-30</birthday>/
custom log:
/21:11:51,607 DEBUG [com.xxx.xxx.service.request.UpdatePersonRequest] ...
called setBirthday with argument [21/04/52 0.00]/
(wrong)
The bean is valorized with:
/UpdatePersonRequest [... birthday=Fri Apr 21 00:00:00 CET 1452 ...]/
(again wrong)
*I obtain April 21 and not April 30*, with *9 days of difference*.
I tried with several dates and noticed that this behavior occurs for dates
prior then *15/10/1582*, that is the historical start date for the Gregorian
Calendar.
>From 15/10/1582 onward the request bean is valorized with the exact date I
>enter in the soap request.
So, I don't understand what is the logic used by Apache Cxf. Does it assume
that the incoming request contains a date expressed in Gregorian calendar and
then convert it into Julian date for dates prior that 15/10/1582? If it is so,
why does such a conversion is performed?
Thank you very much.
