Description

Method ConverterUtil.convertToDateTime expects the string parameter to be yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ssZ, e.g.: 2012-03-21T10:11:12Z. Is is correct according to ISO 8601.

But if a datetime string is passed to ConverterUtil.convertToDate, this method expects the format to be yyyy-MM-ddZhh:mm:ssT, e.g.: 2012-03-21Z10:11:12T, with 'T' and 'Z' interchanged. Therefore when passing a correctly formatted datetime string to this method, a RuntimeException "In valid string sufix" is thrown.

ConverterUtil.convertToDate must be fixed to accept ISO 8601 datetime strings.
