Timezone data returned by Java SDk is not defined anywhere?

Question

The old Java WSDL classes returned the timezone values as defined here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/bing-ads-time-zones.aspx
However, the new Java SDK is returning different values. For example, it returns:
GREENWICH_MEAN_TIME_DUBLIN_EDINBURGH_LISBON_LONDON
instead of
GreenwichMeanTimeDublinEdinburghLisbonLondon
Is this changing across the board?

Answer 1

We use 'wsimport' to generate proxies for the Bing Ads Java SDK, and you can find details
here on GitHub. The UPPER_CASE_UNDERSCORE pattern you see is generated by default by wsimport for all value sets e.g. TimeZoneType in the Customer Management service and BudgetLimitType
in the Campaign Management service. Using an IDE such as Eclipse, the possible values should be available through intellisense. 
The values you see documented are accepted by the service when a string is expected (not value set). For example when adding a campaign you would set the time zone with one of the CamelCase values you see documented
here on MSDN. 
Campaign campaign = new Campaign();
campaign.setName("Winter Clothing " + System.currentTimeMillis());
campaign.setDescription("Winter clothing line.");
campaign.setBudgetType(BudgetLimitType.MONTHLY_BUDGET_SPEND_UNTIL_DEPLETED);
campaign.setMonthlyBudget(1000.00);
campaign.setTimeZone("PacificTimeUSCanadaTijuana");
campaign.setDaylightSaving(true);
I hope this helps!
