Re: [Simple-support] Deserialization of type Calendar?

I see that there is a transform for GregorianCalendar, but what I
don't understand is, why Simple can't figure out itself that it should
use the GregorianCalendar transform, because there is the
class="java.util.GregorianCalendar" attribute on the time element in
the XML code (furthermore, I can serialize it, but not deserialize
it).

Isn't this the same case as if I use the list interface, whereas the
XML code will contain something like class="java.util.ArrayList" to
denote the concrete instance type?

My problem is, I have to serialize a lot of classes which all uses
"Calendar" as the type and not the concrete "GregorianCalendar". Of
course, all fields hold GregorianCalendar instances, but I can't
change all those types at the moment :-/

Is the change from "Calendar" to "GregorianCalender" in all domain
model classes really the only option I currently have?


Thanks a lot for your help!
