JAXB custom type mapping in JBossWS client not working quest

[joff]

Hi, I hope someone on here can help with this one.

I'm trying to use JAXB to map xsd:date and xsd:time types in a WSDL I've been provided with, to a type more sensible than XMLGregorianCalendar, in my case Joda LocalTime and LocalDate types.

I have a binding xml file that looks like:

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:jaxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb" jaxb:version="2.0" targetNamespace="urn:DefaultNamespace">
 <xs:annotation >
 <xs:appinfo>
 <jaxb:globalBindings>
 <jaxb:javaType name="org.joda.time.LocalDate" xmlType="xs:date"
 parseMethod="bookit.util.DateTimeUtil.parseLocalDate"
 printMethod="bookit.util.DateTimeUtil.printLocalDate"/>
 <jaxb:javaType name="org.joda.time.LocalTime" xmlType="xs:time"
 parseMethod="bookit.util.DateTimeUtil.parseLocalTime"
 printMethod="bookit.util.DateTimeUtil.printLocalTime"/>
 </jaxb:globalBindings>
 </xs:appinfo>
 </xs:annotation>
</xs:schema>

With my own parse/print static methods defined on my DateTimeUtil class.

I can successfully run the WSDL through wsimport, and this seems to generate the service interface with methods that look like:

@WebService(name = "AppointmentService", targetNamespace = "urn:DefaultNamespace")
@SOAPBinding(style = SOAPBinding.Style.RPC)
@XmlSeeAlso({
 ObjectFactory.class
})
public interface AppointmentService {
...
 @WebMethod(operationName = "GETAPPOINTMENTS")
 @WebResult(name = "GETAPPOINTMENTSReturn", partName = "GETAPPOINTMENTSReturn")
 public XsdAnyTypeArray getappointments(
 @WebParam(name = "ADVISER", partName = "ADVISER")
 String adviser,
 @XmlJavaTypeAdapter(Adapter1 .class)
 @WebParam(name = "STARTDATE", partName = "STARTDATE")
 LocalDate startdate,
 @XmlJavaTypeAdapter(Adapter1 .class)
 @WebParam(name = "ENDDATE", partName = "ENDDATE")
 LocalDate enddate);
...
}

and the generated Adapter classes use my parse/print methods.

However, when I use this as a client, the adapters don't seem to be used, i.e. the SOAP request comes out looking like:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:urn="urn:DefaultNamespace">
 <soapenv:Header/>
 <soapenv:Body>
 <urn:GETAPPOINTMENTS>
 <ADVISER>myuser</ADVISER>
 <STARTDATE/>
 <ENDDATE/>
 </urn:GETAPPOINTMENTS>
 </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

Is there something else I need to be doing to make this work?

I'm currently using JDK6, Seam 2.1.2, and JBoss 4.2.2 (with the jboss-jaxws.jar etc in endorsed). I've also tried this on JBoss 5.0, but with the same result.
