How to display +00:00 instead of Z in timezone info ?

843834Feb 4 2008 — edited Feb 4 2008

I was using Jaxb1.0/jdk1.4 in my application to convert java objects to xml. The date-time used to be output in the format 2008-02-04T15:04:48+00:00.

I upgraded to Jaxb2.0 /jdk1.5 and am getting the output in the format 2008-02-04T15:04:48. ie the timezone information is lost. I tried to do a setTimezone on the xMLGregorianCalendar object but then it returns a format with an Z (eg: 2008-01-22T01:40:00Z) appended. Of course the Z component is equivalent to the +/-aa:bb but unfortunately the other application that uses the generated xml is built to specifically extract the timezone information from the +/-aa:bb component.

Is is possible to specify that the tmz info should be displayed in the format +/-aa:bb rather than Z ?

Thanks
