timestamp passing over soap 

Hi,

Has anyone had any problems with java.sql.timestamp being passed over the 
soap server/client interface.

I had problems on the soap server side so included it in the deployment 
descriptor. However whenever its value is non null it causes the client side 
to throw an exception.

Cheers

Jonathan

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());
    }
