Now that WebObjects 5.4 has "full support" of XML plists, I was
hoping that I could rely on NSPropertyListSerialization to
exchange XML plists between Cocoa and WebObjects applications.
However, I have found that the date representations used by Cocoa
and WebObjects 5.4 to be incompatible.
In Cocoa, NSPropertyListSerialization encodes/decodes <date> using
this format:
yyyy-mm-ddTHH:MM:SSZ
For example:
NSData *xmlData = [NSPropertyListSerialization
dataFromPropertyList:now
format:NSPropertyListXMLFormat_v1_0
errorDescription:&error];
produces:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://
www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<date>2008-01-22T23:17:14Z</date>
</plist>
However, in WebObjects 5.4, NSPropertyListSerialization encodes/
decodes <date> using this format:
yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS.NNN GMT
For example:
String xmlString =
NSPropertyListSerialization.xmlStringFromPropertyList(new
NSTimestamp());
produces:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";>
<plist version="1.0">
<date>2008-01-22 21:39:22.975 GMT</date>
</plist>
You might expect both Cocoa and WebObjects
NSPropertyListSerialization to recognize both formats, but they
don't.
Therefore:
Cocoa's NSPropertyListSerialization cannot decode a date encoded
in an XML plist generated by WebObjects.
WebObjects' NSPropertyListSerialization cannot decode a date
encoded in an XML plist generated by Cocoa.
I understand that Cocoa uses NSDate and WebObjects uses
NSTimestamp to represent dates. But I would have thought they
could have used a common XML representation.
I have been working around the problem that <date> isn't supported
at all in WO 5.3. However, I was really hoping that WO 5.4 would
allow me to ditch the workarounds.
Any thoughts?
