Hi

I have having weird situation with java Calendar, its driving me crazy.

My requirenment is that i got a xml schema element that accepts only Calendar Type

Say element <expDtTime>2011-09-25T13:00:00</expDtTime>
Say Singapore time zone
When i send the element from client to server my cal obj works perfectly ok
Calendar cal = getElement(expDtTime);

Once it reaches server i do timezone changes to GMT do calculations and then return the obj back to client to display time in Singapore timezone

Here is the issue

my Calendar Obj is passing me
<expDtTime>2011-09-25T13:00:00.000Z</expDtTime>

Which is not the required format. I want to get rid of the trailing .000Z

I should get back
<expiryDateTime>2011-09-25T13:00:00</expiryDateTime>

Is there any way to get rid of this pls help.
I have tried using date formatter and assigning back to cal obj but as soon as i assign back to calendar obj it changes back to .000Z I dont want timezone part of it.

Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated.


Thanks in advance
