Hi, when having fields of java.sql.Date in your bean, and when deserializing 
from "xsd:dateTime" (internally interpeted as java.util.Calendar) by the 
default BeanDeserializer. It will not work.

When Axis tries to set the value in the bean it will fail as the field is not 
of type Calendar. Well, Axis then tries to convert the Calendar-value using the 
org.apache.axis.utils.JavaUtils class, but the class only handles 
java.util.Date's and not java.sql.Date's. 

I would suggest to add this functionallity to JavaUtils (if there's not a good 
reason to why it's not there in the first place):


org/apache/axis/utils/JavaUtils.java line 246-254

        // Convert between Calendar and java.util.Date
        if (arg instanceof Calendar && destClass == java.util.Date.class) {
            return ((Calendar) arg).getTime();
        }

        // Convert between Calendar and java.sql.Date
        if (arg instanceof Calendar && destClass == java.sql.Date.class) {
            return new java.sql.Date(((Calendar) arg).getTimeInMillis());
        }

regards
