        Key: AXIS-1456
    Summary: Mapping of service interfaces defined using java.sql.Date to xsd:date does not work
       Type: Bug

     Status: Open
   Priority: Major

             Serialization/Deserialization

Description:
Whilst JAX-RPC does not define a standard mapping from a Java class to xsd:date, Apache Axis has a non standard extension which maps service interfaces defined using java.sql.Date to xsd:date. Unfortunately this does not work out-of-the-box. When a parameter of type xsd:date is sent from a client stub to an AXIS server, it is erroneously deserialized as a java.util.Date. This is despite the fact that both the WSDD, and XML request, specify that the parameter is of type XSD:Date, rather than XSD:DateTime. 

The resultant effect of this incorrect deserialization, is that AXIS will erroneously try to find a method to invoke with a java.util.Date in it's signature, rather than a java.sql.Date (which the method signature actually specifies), and hence will throw a 'no such method error'.

The problem is resolved by implementing a custom deserializer which, when registered against the type java.sql.Date, merely converts the incorrectly deserialized java.util.Date to a java.sql.Date, allowing AXIS to invoke the correct method. 

The code for the overriden makeValue function of the custom deserializer is as follows:

public Object makeValue(String source) {
        
   Object obj = super.makeValue(source);
        
   if (javaType == java.sql.Date.class) {
      	if (obj instanceof java.sql.Date) {
  		return obj;
       	} else if (obj instanceof java.util.Date) {
       		return new                         java.sql.Date(((java.util.Date)obj).getTime());
       	}
   }
        
        if (javaType == java.util.Date.class) {
        	if (obj instanceof java.util.Date) {
        		return obj;
        	}
    	}
    
        throw new RuntimeException(
           	"cannot convert " + obj.getClass().getName() + " to " + javaType.getName()
		);
    }
