Description

I don't know whether this is a bug or a feature.

When I return an object with two fields, one of type java.util.Calendar and the other of type java.util.Date I get the following SOAP response:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv = "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<ns:getDatesResponse xmlns:ns = "http://service.mydomain.com/xsd">
<ns:return>
<calendar xmlns = "http://data.mydomain.com/xsd">2006-11-06T21:03:39.781Z</calendar>
<date xmlns = "http://data.mydomain.com/xsd">Mon Nov 06 22:03:39 CET 2006</date>
</ns:return>
</ns:getDatesResponse>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

Both fields are of type "xs:dateTime" in the generated WSDL (see attachment).

The generated ADB client, however, can for obvious reasons not parse the "Mon Nov 06 22:03:39 CET 2006" and generates the following exception:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.NumberFormatException

Why does RPCMessageReceiver treat java.util.Date differently than java.util.Calendar?

I am trying to move severeal Axis 1.3 services to Axis2 and in Axis 1.3 a java.util.Date was serializes as "xs:dateTime".
