Hi Wolfgang,
I'm trying to strip out the timezone information when spitting out the XML. Right now, my XML snippet looks like this:
<activeSince>2008-05-16-07:00</activeSince>
I want it to be:
<activeSince>2008-05-16</activeSince>
But I'm OK with it continuing to be an XMLGregorianCalendar in the app. And want to to be able to read the timezone if it submitted. It's a little strange that way, I'll admit :).
Since I posted my initial message, I've been reading more and just discovered how you can customize binding declarations for XSD compilation (I'm relatively new to JAXB). It's looking to me like that might be the way to go. Does that sound right?
Thanks,
Charles

Subject: Re: Marshalling Dates
What do you want to do? Jennie Hall's article describes a mapping by adapter between String in the XML and java.util.Date in the application. What do you want on these two sides?
