JAX-WS and Joda-Time?

Question

How do I write a JAX-WS service so the @WebParam of my @WebMethod is a Joda-Time class like DateTime? Will @XmlTypeAdapter on a parameter work? I\'m deploying to GlassFish

Answer 1

You have to annotate the parameter directly such as below (I am making use of XSDDateTimeMarshaller written by @DennisTemper as one of the answers to your question but feel free to substitute with another one...) :

@WebService
@SOAPBinding(style = SOAPBinding.Style.RPC)
public interface Resender {
    @WebMethod
    void resend(
        @WebParam(name = "start") @XmlJavaTypeAdapter(type = DateTime.class, value = XSDDateTimeMarshaller.class) DateTime start,
        @WebParam(name = "end") @XmlJavaTypeAdapter(type = DateTime.class, value = XSDDateTimeMarshaller.class) DateTime end
    );
}
