Also, as per the XPM-RPC specs (http://www.xmlrpc.com/spec
<http://www.xmlrpc.com/spec> ), the <dateTime.iso8601>  example is given
as "19980717T14:08:55". Note that it does not contain the milliseconds
and the timezone information.  However looking at the traffic between
XenCenter and XenServer 5.5, it looks like they do include the timezone
information.

Subject: [Xen-API] question regarding Event.timestamp field

 

While looking at the traffic between XenCenter and XenServer 5.5,  I see
that in all other places such as Task.created, Task.finished,
VM.snapshot_time etc., the 'datetime' type of field comes on wire as a
<dateTime.iso8601> element, e.g.

 

<Task>

   ....

    <name>created</name>

 
<value><dateTime.iso8601>20090806T17:52:13Z</dateTime.iso8601></value>

</Task>

 

However the Event.timestamp field, which is also of type 'datetime' as
per the Xen API specs, comes as integer looking string

 

<Event>

  ...

   <name>timestamp</name>

   <value>1249581133.</value>

</Event>

 

I was wondering why. Also what's the dot at the end of that number?
