I'm writing a web service, and a client that uses the service. The service creates, and the client consumes, a class called SMessage. Within SMessage there exists the following data access routines that I wrote: public java.util.Date getCreationDate() { return CreationDate; } public void setCreationDate(java.util.Date newCreationDate) { this.CreationDate = newCreationDate; } So good so far, but when I create the web service, it generates some classes for the client to use, and among them are the routines for manipulating CreationDate.

			this.creationDate = creationDate;
			

			}


Why did it change data types for me? All the other data types were preserved by wscompile unchanged. Does anybody have an explanation for this?
Thanks in advance, Ben    <<Less

Since JDK 1.1 most of the Date functionality was replaced by the Calendar object.
Moreover the current Date object in JDK ver 1.4.* has an immutable constructor 
which only sets the current time internally by default. 
Set/Get operations are deprecated.

But all time related operations are available though the Calendar object. 
In your example, you can get the Date object back using:

Date date = [SMessage].getCreationDate().getTime();
