Hi,

I have a web service that retuns a DateTime datatype element :

<xsd:element name=“dateEffect” type=“xsd:dateTime”/>

In some cases, this web service can return a “dateEffect” = null.

When I try my web service in SoapUI, this works well without error :

<request>
<dateEffect/>    --> null value
</request>

Testing within webMethods, it works too.
Testing within a web browser, it works too.

but when I try to call it with a Java-CXF calls, I obtain the error below.

The CXF generator transforms the dateTime element in XMLGregorianCalendar :

@XmlSchemaType(name = "dateTime")
protected XMLGregorianCalendar dateFinEffet;

Would you have any idea to avoid this error please ?

Can you try with nillable=“true” attribute

<xsd:element name=“dateEffect” type=“xsd:dateTime” nillable=“true”/>

Oups… it’s of course the first thing i’ve tried yesterday… but…
hum… i’m stupid :? … I’ve forgot to regenerate my JavaCXF client before re-testing…

Thanks for you reply : you make me remind i have to recreate the class with the new attribute

Regards

Hi,

Now “nillable = true” my first issue is corrected.

Unfortunately I met another problem : my service sometimes returns this king of date : dateEffect = 2015-11-02 00:00:00.0

So, when I call the web service with Java-CXF, this exception is raised… how can I deal with this please ?
(the value comes from ORACLE DATE field, that does not contains day-month-year information)

why this date “2015-11-02 00:00:00.0” date is not accepted from JavaX=CXF please ?

EDIT :
I’ve found the explanation : my ORACLE Adapter was specyfying the RETURN type as VARCHAR and not as DATE.
So now it’s ok

Just to add the xml datetime format is YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss

Good to know you already solved the issue

Thanks for your reply.
