Unmarshalling custom date to XMLGregorianCalendar

We are unmarshalling date field using JAXB. The format that is coming in the xml is like

2013-10-07 03:57:36.703

In my DTO class, the field where this value has to be populates looks like 

@XmlElement(name = "VALID_TO", required = true)
@XmlSchemaType(name = "date")
protected XMLGregorianCalendar validto;

But, after unmarshalling, I don't get anything in valito.

In the xsd, VALID_TO has a custom xsd:date mapping with pattern[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}

Is it necessary to have timeZone in the value to be able to convert to XmlGregorianCalendar ?

Thanks !!!

The following formats will work with JAXB and XMLGregorianCalendar out of the box.

  • xsd:date - 2013-10-07
  • xsd:dateTime - 2013-10-07T03:57:36.703

If you want an alternate format such as 2013-10-07 03:57:36.703 you can use an XmlAdapter.
