Re: [Simple-support] Transforming XML schema xs:dateTime type

[Adam M. <sim...@ma...>]

FWIW, this blows my mind.  My impression from reading the W3C XML
Schema specification Part 2, section 3.2.7[1] is that there is a
standardized format for date-time values.  Wouldn't that format be the
obvious choice for serializing java.util.Date objects?  As it is,
W3C-schema based XML validators will reject Date values serialized by
the Simple Framework.  That I need to "write a Transformer" to get the
Simple Framework to produce XML that complies with the W3C Schema
specification brings several words to my mind, none of which is
"simple."

We are now trying to use the Simple Framework to read the same XML documents from an Android application (since JAXB is not supported on Android).  In JAXB, a XML xs: dateTime type attribute is transformed with a XMLGregorianCalendar class. When I try to use the XMLGregorianCalendar class with the Simple Framework as shown below:      @Attribute(required = true)    protected XMLGregorianCalendar lastModified;  I get the following error:  Cannot use @org.simpleframework.xml.Attribute(empty=, name=, required=true) to represent  protected javax.xml.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendar.  How can I use the Simple Framework to work with a xs:dateTime attribute? Since this is one of the built-in types, it seems like it should be straightforward. I tried using GregorianCalendar, but that class could not parse the time part.  Thanks,Phil
