Mike, All, thanks for your comments. 

Let me to highlight an issue with current approach, mentioning of it are recurring, but I think from the practical point of view it needs more attention. Both in case of Date and Calendar we have information _lost_ at the transport layer: Date loses its time, Calendar - the style ;) The argument that "the information retrievable from a Calendar is more complete than that retrievable from a Date" is hardly convincing for me as all information we have and can effectively transport is ultimately defined by xsd type. And xsd:dateTime seems to be the most capable / comprehensive. Next would be a question "Which way is the cheapest to transfer that information from / to application level?"

Please note these considerations are purely from transport layer perspective. But what is Axis2 after all?

I'm looking purely from transport layer point of view here. But what is Axis2 after all..

> When a method returns a java.util.Date (or an object containing a java.util.Date), only the date portion is returned in Axis2 1.5:
> <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
>    <soapenv:Body>
>       <ns:getCurrentTimeResponse xmlns:ns="http://ws.apache.org/axis2">
>          <ns:return>2009-06-10</ns:return>
>       </ns:getCurrentTimeResponse>
>    </soapenv:Body>
> </soapenv:Envelope>
> In Axis2 1.4.1, the full date and time was returned:
> <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
>    <soapenv:Body>
>       <ns:getCurrentTimeResponse xmlns:ns="http://ws.apache.org/axis2">
>          <ns:return>2009-06-10T16:22:22.622Z</ns:return>
>       </ns:getCurrentTimeResponse>
>    </soapenv:Body>
> </soapenv:Envelope>
> This change breaks any application that requires the time portion to function correctly.
