DatatypeFactory isn't strictly JAXB-related, but I figure it has a
strong correlation to use of JAXB.
I'm calling "DatatypeFactory.newXMLGregorianCalendar(String)" and I'm
storing the result in an element with a restriction on "xs:datetime".
I'm having trouble getting the formatting correct.
The schema excerpt is as follows:
<xs:restriction base='xs:dateTime'>
<xs:pattern value='.+T.+Z'/>
</xs:restriction>
(which seems odd, as this pattern seems to ignore the "date" portion,
correct?)
From the documentation in our schema:
- T is a fixed character, indicating the time section
- Z is a fixed character, indicating UTC time zone
I've looked at <
http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#dateTime-order> (which
is mentioned in the javadoc for this function), but it hasn't helped me
solve this problem.
I've tried giving it a formatted date/time value of
"2010-05-19T01:00:00-08:00", but when schema validation is done, this
fails to validate. It appears I'm formatting the timezone value
incorrectly, but I'm not sure what it should be.
I tried simply replacing the "-08:00" portion with "Z", and that
appeared to pass validation. Is that what's intended here?
