JAXB, Custom bindings, Adapter1.class and Joda-time

Question

I have a problem with the way JAXB is generating the bound classes for an XML schema (which, for sake of precision, I cannot modify). I want to map a xsd:date type to a Joda

Answer 1

A complete example. This is your bindings.xml:

plus the Java Class:

package com.yourpackage;

import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;

import javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.adapters.XmlAdapter;

public class DateAdapter extends XmlAdapter
{

    @Override
    public Date unmarshal(final String date) {
        return DatatypeConverter.parseDate(date).getTime();
    }

    @Override
    public String marshal(final Date date)
    {
        Calendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar();
        calendar.setTime(date);
        return DatatypeConverter.printDate(calendar);
    }

}

plus the pom.xml definition:

    org.apache.cxf
    cxf-codegen-plugin
    ${cxf.version}
    
        
            org.jvnet.jaxb2_commons

                    true
                
                
                    
                        ${basedir}/src/main/resources/your.wsdl
                        
                            -verbose
                            -xjc-npa
                            -xjc-Xsetters
