AxisFault NumberFormatException Invalid date/time

Question

I'm trying to consume a SOAP service with Java. I need to set a date/time element properly.

<element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" name="startDate" nillable="true" type="xsd:dateTime"/>

I generated a client jar with Axis 1.4 wsdl2java

I need to send a Calendar type object.

java.util.Calendar startDate

In SOAPUI, it accepts the format below.

<startDate>22/05/2022 14:27:00.000</startDate>

In code, I tried formatting the date but didn't work. I get the same error every time while getting response.

AxisFault java.lang.NumberFormatException Invalid date/time

Any ideas?

xsd:dateTime expects a value in the ISO 8601 format e.g. 2022-05-22T14:27:00.000 which is in the pattern yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS. Learn more about it from this tutorial.

Note: The java.time API has a constant, DateTimeFormatter.ISO_LOCAL_DATE_TIME as a pre-defined pattern.
