REST resources generated by the REST plugin do not abstract java.sql.* types ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: FORGE-1423 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-1423 Project: Forge Issue Type: Bug Components: Builtin Plugins Affects Versions: 1.4.3.Final, 2.0.0.Beta4 Reporter: Vineet Reynolds Assignee: Vineet Reynolds Fix For: 2.x Future When Date/Time temporal types are serialized or deserialized by the generated REST resources, the underlying {{java.sql.Date/java.sql.Time}} values in JPA entities (and also DTOs) are referenced directly by Jackson. This leads to several problems: * The serialized time values lack any timezone info leading to date/time shifting issues when they're deserialized back. * By default, Jackson deserializes properties in JSON objects to {{java.util.Date}} instances only for a subset of ISO8601 formats. Partial time values are not a supported format and thus time values submitted by clients cannot be parsed. For more info see: http://wiki.fasterxml.com/JacksonFAQDateHandling
