Dates coming from web service

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm currently trying to consume in VC a CAF Application Service exposed as a Web Service. I'm able to retrieve what I want but I have a problem with dates format.

The web service returns dates in the following format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:NN:SS

When I test my data service in VC it works fine. When I run my iview, VC swap the month and the day and compute the new date...

It's not just a problem of formatting with DVAL and DSTR because the date is already computed.

Example:

Date returned from web service: 2007-09-21T00:00:01

Date returned from test data service in VC: 21.09.2007

Date returned at runtime: 09.09.2008

VC understand 21.09.2007 not like DD.MM.YYYY but like MM.DD.YYYY so 21.09.2007 becomes 09.09.2008

I also tried to check on the server Regional and Language option but it doesn't come from there.

Have you ever faced this problem?

Thx

Hi Thomas,

Can you give me more details about web service?

Hi,

It is a Web Service generated by NWDS (to expose my CAF Application Service)and deployed on the server.

The url si like http://<hostname>:<port>/mywebservice/Config1?wsdl

The Web Service runs correctly.

When I call a method of my web service to retrieve a list of objects (CAF Entity Services) and their attributes, it returns attributes of type String and Dates of type 'java.util.GregorianCalendar'.

It seems that VC doesn't correctly understand this type of Date at runtime

Hi,

It seems to be a know problem in VC...not only for dates coming from Web Services.

Hi Thomas,

This is a known issue with VC 7.0 SP 11 and SP 10. This can be resolved after applying SP12 stack.

For known issues in VC, you can follow SAP Note 1021675.

Hi Pramod,

Thx for the info, but we use VC 7.0 SP12 and it's not fixed.
