[jira] Commented: (QPID-1551) Timestamps incorrectly encoded as milliseconds rather than seconds

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-1551?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12659070#action_12659070 ] 

Robert Greig commented on QPID-1551:
------------------------------------

In the javadoc for javax.jms.Message it states:

"Date and time values should use the standard long millisecond value. When a date or time literal is included in a message selector, it should be an integer literal for a millisecond value. The standard way to produce millisecond values is to use java.util.Calendar"

> It appears that datetime/timestamp values are being encoded by the Qpid Java client as the number of milliseconds (specifically a timestamp is System.currentTimeMillis(), whereas from the AMQP Spec (pick 0-8 onwards)
> "Time stamps are held in the 64-bit POSIX time_t format with an accuracy of one second. By using 64 bits 
> we avoid future wraparound issues associated with 31-bit and 32-bit time_t values."
> Is this accurate or perhaps I"m missing something in the JMS layer that wants it to be milliseconds rather than seconds.
