We also had some problems with dates and managed to solve them all changing all Date into Calendar (both of them are mapped to dateTime in wsdl). When using Calendar you should always be able to receive and parse the TimeZone, that is not specified in soap messages if you don't use Calendar (at least as far as I remember, in jbossws 1.0.1). JBossWS will eventually convert you time to UTC but it will tell you that it's using that TimeZone, so you shouldn't have any problems this way. bye Alessio Soldano http://www.javalinux.it/blogs View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3972051#...
