This sample demonstrates how you can work with XML Schema primitive types
date, dateTime, time, duration, gDay.
This sample illustrates how you can
- Convert org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlDate to java.util.Calendar,org.apache.xmlbeans.GDate, java.util.Date
- Convert org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlTime to java.util.Calendar,org.apache.xmlbeans.GDate, java.util.Date
- Convert org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlDuration to org.apache.xmlbeans.GDuration
- Convert org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlGday to java.util.Calendar,org.apache.xmlbeans.GDate, Day - primitive java int
- Get/Set XML Schema primitive types date, dateTime, time, duration, and gDay.
XMLBean Types provide mapping between natural Java classes and W3C Schema types. For eg:
| Schema Type | Formal Class | Natural Java Class |
| xs:date | XmlDate | java.util.Calendar (XmlCalendar) |
| xs:time | XmlTime | java.util.Calendar (XmlCalendar) |
| xs:dateTime | XmlDateTime | java.util.Calendar (XmlCalendar) |
| xs:duration | XmlDuration | org.apache.xmlbeans.GDuration |
The XmlCalendar is a subclass of GregorianCalendar that modifies several key details in the behavior of GregorianCalendar to make it more useful when dealing with XML dates.
