Re: [xml-dev] is there a java utility class that can convert between a XML Sche ma dateTime formated string and a java.util.Date or java.sql.TimeStamp

I think there may be some problems trying to do this using the standard 
Java libraries (as one obscure example, I don't think the standard 
libraries support the proleptic Gregorian calendar used by WXS, so they 
would not work properly for dates more than a few centuries back), but 
you can lift code from my JiBX project at http://www.jibx.org for this 
purpose. The org.jibx.runtime.Utility class has full support for 
converting the Schema date formats to and from Java java.util.Dates. I 
suspect it's also much faster than the equivalent using the standard 
Java libraries.

Source is in the download, or you can get this class from CVS directly 
at 
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/jibx/jibx/build/src/org/jibx/runtime/Utility.java 
The methods for converting dateTime values are serializeDateTime and 
deserializeDateTime.
