Xs:dateTime representation in soap message

Question

I have a web service written with axis2 that I need to migrate to jax-ws. There is also a base of installed clients that would be very hard to update, so the messages really need to stay unchanged.
The service has some elements with xs:dateTime attributes. My problem is that the old axis2 service generated soap messages for these dateTime attributes like this:
<created>2010-10-20T09:23:37.463+02:00</created>
<lastModified>2010-10-20T09:23:37.463+02:00</lastModified>Now, the migrated service generates the same messages like this:
<ns3:created>
<day>20</day>
<fractionalSecond>0.194</fractionalSecond>
<hour>9</hour>
<millisecond>194</millisecond>
<minute>26</minute>
<month>10</month>
<second>58</second>
<timezone>120</timezone>
<year>2010</year>
</ns3:created>
<ns3:lastModified>
<day>20</day>
<fractionalSecond>0.194</fractionalSecond>
<hour>9</hour>
<millisecond>194</millisecond>
<minute>26</minute>
<month>10</month>
<second>58</second>
<timezone>120</timezone>
<year>2010</year>
</ns3:lastModified>Which is unreadable to the axis2 clients.
How do I fix the jax-ws service to generate dateTime types in the old format?

Answer 1

It turns out I was missing some xml libraries in the classpath. I don't know exactly which one did the trick because I added a bunch of them. Unfortunately, I don't have time to investigate which particular jar file it was.
