Question

I have a little issue. I have to send NSDate as parameter to soap web method.

[WbMethod]
public void Method(DateTime date){...

From objective-c I send data like this:

NSDate* date = [NSDate date];

    ...
    NSString *soapMsg = 
        [NSString stringWithFormat:
         @"<?xml...
             "<date>%d</date>"
         ...
         "</soap:Body>"
         "</soap:Envelope>", date
         ];

I got error:

...<faultstring>Server was unable to read request. ---&gt; There is an error in XML document (1, 354). ---&gt; The string '93462576' is not a valid AllXsd value.</faultstring><detail /></soap:Fault></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>

I have alse tried to change %d to %@ and then error is:

...faultstring>Server was unable to read request. ---&gt; There is an error in XML document (1, 371). ---&gt; The string '2012-01-26 14:27:45 +0000' is not a valid AllXsd value.</faultstring><detail /></soap:Fault></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>

If it should be in format you mentioned, then

NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[formatter setDateFormat:@"MM/dd/yyyy hh,mm,ss"];
NSString *yourDateString = [formatter stringFromDate:[NSDate date]];
[formatter release];
