--------------------------------------

As a short-term meeasure we can just comment tthat we they are using tm_struct into the generated type?

> The class xsd__dateTime needs methods to get/set date and time.  Currently if the user wants to set the date and time they have to remember that they are populating a tm stuct structure and that years are offset from 1900 and months will have 1 added to them.  Thus, if you populate the dateTime as follows:- (28 Sept 2005 @ 12:12:12)
> 	pWS->Calendar = new xsd__dateTime();
> 	pWS->Calendar->tm_mday = 28;
> 	pWS->Calendar->tm_wday = 28;
> 	pWS->Calendar->tm_yday = 28;
> 	pWS->Calendar->tm_mon = 9;
> 	pWS->Calendar->tm_year = 2005;
> 	pWS->Calendar->tm_hour = 12;
> 	pWS->Calendar->tm_min = 12;
> 	pWS->Calendar->tm_sec = 12;
> This will appear on the wire as:- (notice the date and month)
> <Calendar>3905-10-28T12:12:12Z</Calendar>
> If we had a couple of get/set methods for date and time, that convert an absolute date (i.e. 2005) to a tm stuct date (i.e. one that is offset from 1900) and an absolute month (i.e. 1=Jan, 2=Feb, etc) to a tm struct month (i.e. 0=Jan, 1=Feb, etc) and vise versa, this might remove the confusion.  For example:-
> pWS->Calendar.setDate( 28, 9, 2005)
> would be interpretted as:
> pWS->Calendar->tm_mday = 28;
> pWS->Calendar->tm_wday = 28;
> pWS->Calendar->tm_yday = 28;
> pWS->Calendar->tm_mon = 8;
> pWS->Calendar->tm_year = 105;
> And
> string date = pWS->Calendar.getDate()
> would return 28,9,2005 (or some other delimited string).
