Re: timestamp passing over soap

[Scott Nichol <sn...@scottnichol.com>]

There is no support built into Apache SOAP for java.sql.Timestamp.  It does
not follow the bean pattern, so it cannot be [de-]serialized using the
BeanSerializer.  One option for you is to write your own serializer and
deserializer code.  Another option is to pass a java.util.Date instead by
wrapping the method and calling the wrapper.  This method requires a hack if
the Timestamp is the return value, e.g.

    java.sql.Timestamp getLastUpdate(int recordID) {
        // this does the real work
    }

    // need bogus parameter to have a different signature
    java.util.Date getLastUpdate(int recordID, int bogus) {
        java.sql.Timestamp ts = getLastUpdate(recordID);
        return new java.util.Date(ts.getTime());
    }
