Wing Yew Poon commented on XMLBEANS-242:
----------------------------------------

Actually, there is a simple solution to Akram's problem. This is just user error. I assume dateOfBirth is an xs:date. When using the GregorianCalendar instance, first clear the fields:

    Calendar dob = Calendar.getInstance(); // returns GregorianCalendar
    dob.clear(); // this clears the fields, including Calendar.ZONE_OFFSET
    dob.set(Calendar.YEAR, y);
    dob.set(Calendar.MONTH, m); 
    dob.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, d);
    myObject.setDateOfBirth(dob);

This will get Akram the result he wants.

> When setting a Calendar on a XmlObject  , the TimeZone is added. If the Timezone is not specified, the  defaut Timezone (getDefaultTimeZone() ) is set.
> Example:  I have a dateOfBirth node in my XML. I do this.
> myObject.setDateOfBirth( new GregorianCalendar());
> then my XML looks like this:
> <dateOfBirth>2005-01-04+01:00</dateOfBirth>
> If i do this:
> Calendar dob =  new GregorianCalendar();
> dob.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
> myObject.setDateOfBirth( dob);
> I get this:
> <dateOfBirth>2005-01-04Z</dateOfBirth>
> If I do this:
> Calendar dob =  new GregorianCalendar();
> dob.setTimeZone(null);
> myObject.setDateOfBirth( dob);
> I got a null pointer exception.
> My problem is how can I do if I do *not* want the Timezone to be printed in my XML. I know that xs:date specifies that the timezone is optional, but for display reasons I don't want to show it.
> Do you have any clue about this problem? What I suggest is to not display Timezone if it is not present.
