Massimo,

Sorry for the delayed response.... took me a while to get trunk, unzip 
correctly, etc.... although I know now.

I used the trunk version.

If I put in: 

http://localhost:8080/hosp/api/calldatasmart.json?search=call.start is 
greater than "2010-03-14"
I still get the same error...

If I put in:
http://localhost:8080/hosp/api/calldatasmart.json?search=call.start is 
greater than "2010-03-14 20:58:54"
IT WORKS PERFECTLY.

I expect that this is an error from your perspective in the trunk still, 
however I am happy to put in the full date and time, and get it to work, so 
thanks very much.

Doug
