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

I will take a look at adding this to the existing DateTransform, my only reservation is backward compatibility may break in some cases.

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
