XSD TYPE dateTime - returns XMLGregorian calendar- how to convert into java.util.Date

[prince davies]

XSD GENERATED METHOD RETURNS XMLGREGORIAN CALENDAR,I want to convert that into java.util.Date?

How do I do that?

Thanks,

[Ivan Krizsan]

Hi!
Do you want to retrieve an instance of Date from an instance of XMLGregorianCalendar?
If so, then this may help you:

XMLGregorianCalendar theXGCal;
...
GregorianCalendar theGCal = theXGCal.toGregorianCalendar();
Date theDate = theGCal.getTime();
...

Best wishes!

Please use bindings to convert your datatype at the time of code generation. You can pass the binding file as a binding parameter during code generation time. A Sample file is pasted below for your reference.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<jaxb:bindings
version="2.0"
xmlns:jaxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<jaxb:globalBindings>
<jaxb:javaType name="java.util.Calendar" xmlType="xs:dateTime"
parseMethod="javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter.parseDateTime"
printMethod="javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter.printDateTime"/>
<jaxb:javaType name="java.util.Calendar" xmlType="xs:time"
parseMethod="javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter.parseTime"
printMethod="javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter.printTime"/>
<jaxb:javaType name="java.util.Calendar" xmlType="xs:date"
parseMethod="javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter.parseDate"
printMethod="javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter.printDate"/>
<jaxb:serializable uid="1"/>
</jaxb:globalBindings>
</jaxb:bindings>

I am getting runtime error

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/xerces/jaxp/datatype/XMLGregorianCalendarImpl

I am planning to insert date into database.I use XSD to get parameters from FRONT END UI to my webservice method.
I set all parameters using XSD.

In my XSD,I have the following code
<xs:element name="creationDate" type="xs:dateTime" minOccurs="0"/>

And in my DAO,I have the following code to insert into database.

Date carDate = new java.util.Date();
if(creditAssessmentRequest.getCreationDate()!=null) {
carDate = creditAssessmentRequest.getCreationDate().toGregorianCalendar().getTime();
}
When I unzip my war,I could find xercesImpl-2.7.1.jar.When I search for XMLGregorianCalendarImpl.This class is in xercesImpl-2.7.1.jar.It has exactly same package as it is in the error like org/apache/xerces/jaxp/datatype/XMLGregorianCalendarImpl.Why it is not finding it in Runtime?
but I have the following error ,When insert data into database.
